A 6-year-old girl died after being injured in a go-kart accident at a trampoline adventure park in Florida, police said.

First responders were dispatched to an Urban Air Trampoline and Adventure Park in Port St. Lucie on Saturday shortly before 9 p.m. for a “medical run” after staff at the facility reported a go-kart accident involving a child, according to local police.

The girl was flown to a hospital in Fort Pierce and died from her injuries on Sunday, according to the Port St. Lucie Police Department.
