A strong gust of wind blew away a bounce house in Pinal County, killing a child.
The tragic incident happened around 5 p.m. on April 27 near Cox and McCartney roads just outside of Casa Grande.
“Several children were playing in a bounce house when a strong gust of wind sent it airborne into the neighboring lot,” the sheriff’s office said.
Of the children inside the bounce house, a 2-year-old was taken to the hospital where he died. A second child was treated at the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
“This appears to have been a tragic accident,” the sheriff’s office said. “We would like to extend our heartfelt thoughts and prayers to the grieving family.”
