Ten Injured While Riding Roller Coaster

In Southern California, it has been reported that 10 people were injured while riding a roller coaster.  The accident took place on Thursday night while individuals were riding the Pony Express ride at Knott's Berry Farm, which is located in Orange County.

According to the Associated Press, the ride was going uphill, lost momentum and slid backwards.  The carts then crashed into other carts.

While on the ride, 10 people suffered minor back and neck injuries. The age range of the people who were injured was reportedly 12 to 60.

Knott's Berry Farm says that the Pony Express accelerates to 38 miles per hour in under 3 seconds.  The ride opened back in 2008 and never had problems before. The cause of the accident remains unclear and is expected to be investigated.
