Three people were hospitalized when a stagecoach ride carrying 14 visitors lost a wheel and flipped at Knott’s Berry Farm.

The stagecoach fell to its side and sent 14 passengers tumbling Sunday afternoon. The three passengers taken to the hospital suffered minor injuries, a Knott’s spokesman said.

Knott’s closed the stagecoach ride until further notice.

“Three guests were transported to a local hospital for minor injuries,’ Knott’s officials said in a statement. ‘The ride will be closed until further notice. Guest safety is Knott’s number one priority.”
