A 4-year-old boy was hospitalized on Saturday after an explosion at a children’s museum outside of Oklahoma City, according to NBC affiliate KFOR.
The boy was rushed to an Oklahoma City hospital after being injured at the Jasmine Moran Children’s Museum in Seminole, Oklahoma, KFOR reported.
The museum reported an “unfortunate incident” on Saturday, stating that a boy sustained a “burn injury” during an interactive activity.
It added that a guardian accompanied Corona, and that first aid was administered immediately before emergency services arrived.
