BMX parents rally for boys injured riding during windstorm
Two young boys ended up with broken bones after part of a tree fell on them while they were riding their BMX bikes in Red Deer.
It happened as Tuesday night’s wicked windstorm was making its impact felt on our city.
Joy Torrejas said her son, Christopher Young,14, and his friend Ethan Glenn,12, were waiting to race at Great West Adventure Park when the wind starting picking up.
“We saw a cloud, it was very fast moving and it was a little windy, but it was a normal day like most of yesterday. Then all of a sudden out of nowhere the wind gusted and it just picked up and it all happened so fast,” said Torrejas.
