SANDUSKY, Ohio — Cedar Point announced a "female guest" was hurt Sunday afternoon after she was hit by a small object from a roller coaster. 

A spokesperson for the amusement park said in a statement it happened at 4:30 p.m.

She was later taken to a hospital, but the extent of the victim's injuries is unknown at this time.

"At this time, our focus is on the guest and her family," the park's spokesperson said.
