MONTICELLO, Ind. (AP) — Fire officials say no one was hurt after four people got stuck on a roller coaster about 70 feet above the ground in Indiana.

The fire department in Monticello says it got a call shortly before 7:30 p.m. Monday that riders were trapped on the Steel Hawg roller coaster at Indiana Beach amusement park. Authorities say two adults, a 15-year-old girl and a 10-year-old boy were upright as a car got stuck while going through a curve.
