OMAHA, Neb. >> An 11-year-old Nebraska girl has been hospitalized after a witness says her hair got caught in a spinning Cinco de Mayo carnival ride and she suffered a head injury.

Police say she was taken to Nebraska Medicine after the accident Saturday afternoon although her injuries are not life threatening.

A witness told Omaha television station WOWT that the girl’s hair got caught in a spinning ride called King’s Clown.
