A 17-year-old girl was taken to a trauma centre after reportedly falling 30 to 40 feet from a Canada's Wonderland ride on Thursday.

A spokesperson for York Regional Police told Narcity that they were called to the park at 2:42 p.m. on Thursday after it was reported that a person was injured, and then a teen girl was taken to a trauma centre.

CTV News reported that a girl fell from the Swing of the Century ride at Canada's Wonderland, falling 30 to 40 feet.

The Canada's Wonderland website describes the Swing of the Century as "an attraction ideal for the whole family," with 48 free-hanging seats suspending park-goers from "an elevated, rotating, and slanting tower."

The ride was one of the 26 original rides at the park, which opened in 1981.

In their statement to Narcity, police said that "there was nothing considered criminal in this incident and [they] stayed to assist paramedics."

The current state of the girl's injuries is not known; nor are the events that led to the fall.

This is a developing story. Check back for more details.
