Boy, 10, suffers serious injuries after being thrown from Illinois carnival ride

A 10-year-old boy was airlifted to a hospital Sunday after he was thrown from an Illinois carnival ride, police said. 

Though none of the boy's injuries were considered life-threatening, he was listed in critical condition on Monday, officials said. The boy needed surgery after falling from the Moby Dick ride at the Taste of Summer carnival in Antioch. He suffered multiple facial and jaw fractures and a significant injury to the bones in one leg.

The child "was flung from a carnival ride approximately 10-20 feet in the air," the boy's uncle wrote in a GoFundMe post.
