Two women and a child were injured in a recent amusement park accident in New Jersey, causing the ride to be shut down while authorities investigate the possible cause of the accident.

The Cherry Hill Courier Post reports that the incident took place on a ride at Storybook Land in Egg Harbor Township, which is in New Jersey's Atlantic County.

Egg Harbor Township police say that the front car of the Big Truck Ride derailed during the ride, causing the women and child to fall about two-and-a-half feet to the ground, according to the news source.

The 26- and 56-year-old women and the one-year-old boy reportedly suffered minor injuries in the accident and were taken to Shore Memorial Hospital for treatment.
