Chaos erupted at a Florida boardwalk Thursday night when a roller coaster derailed, causing two riders to fall about 34 feet to the ground, officials said.When rescue crews arrived at Daytona Beach's boardwalk, they found the front car of the sandblaster roller coaster "completely off the track and dangling front end towards the ground," the Daytona Beach Fire Department said.
"A roller coaster completely broke off -- we need an ambulance, please," one 911 caller said."There’s a couple people on the ground and the girl’s hanging right now -- she says she can’t breathe and they can’t get her out," another caller said.The two riders who fell to the ground "were determined to be Trauma Alerts" and were taken to the hospital, the department said.
