CHEHALIS – Five people were injured when a horse got spooked and took off running down the midway, pulling an unoccupied carriage, at the Southwest Washington Fair today.
“I don’t have conditions on anyone,” Lewis County Risk Manager Paulette Young said this afternoon.
The vendor with the horse and buggy was at the fair to give rides to people, according to Young.
Four of those hurt were hospitalized, she said. Young said she had limited information.
The individuals involved would have been at or around the food booth area, she said.
The fair which opened on Tuesday is operated by Lewis County.
