Strong winds could be to blame for a headstone toppling onto a small child in a Delaware County cemetery Tuesday.
Rescuers freed the child after a headstone fell on him around 4 p.m. at the Mount Lebanon Cemetery on Bartram Avenue in Darby Township, Pennsylvania.
Paramedics rushed the 8-year-old boy to the hospital. The boy's mother told NBC!0 he suffered a broken femur and lacerated liver that required surgery Wednesday.
Police investigated to see if wind could have factored in the incident.
The boy's mother said he was crossing through the cemetery on his way home from school.
