Two Injured In Molino Christmas Parade
December 8, 2007
Two people were injured in the Molino Christmas Parade Saturday afternoon in separate incidents.
The first injury occurred near the intersection of Highway 97 and County Road 95A when a female riding a horse was thrown to the pavement, according to witnesses. Members of the Molino Fire Department were on scene almost immediately; one of their units was in the parade just behind the horse riders. The victim was treated on scene and refused to be transported to the hospital.
The second injury occurred about 150 feet further in the parade route in a separate incident. Another female rider in the same group of horses fell after her foot became stuck in the stirrup as she got off her horse, according to witnesses. Witnesses say her injuries appeared to be more severe, and that she was placed on a backboard before being transported by ambulance.
The first rider later called for fire medics after leaving the parade area and returning to a private residence.
