SANTA CLARITA, Calif. - A family is asking for answers after their 9-year-old daughter was struck in the face by a flying cell phone while riding the new Wonder Woman rollercoaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain earlier this year.
The incident happened over the summer on Aug. 2. Emily Kreisberg, the victim’s mother, told FOX 11 that despite reporting the incident involving her daughter Kaiya to park officials and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, nothing has been done.
"Our ride safety policy strictly prohibits loose articles, including cell phones, on all rides and attractions. Lockers and storage pouches are available for guests to secure personal items while riding. Safety is a partnership between our guests and the park, and guests must follow all written and verbal instructions for safe riding," park officials said in a statement to FOX 11.
