An 8-year-old girl was struck in the face by a flying phone at Six Flags Magic Mountain on Wednesday, and the girl’s family is now asking the person responsible for help paying for medical treatment.

Evie Evans and her family were riding her favorite Six Flags Magic Mountain ride, Twisted Colossus, when she felt something smack her between the eyes. 

Evans received a cut severe enough to ultimately warrant 10 stitches, according to an interview with Fox 11. 

Immediately after exiting the ride, the owner of the phone came to the family as they attempted to evaluate the situation and told them that it wasn’t “a big deal,” according to Evans’ father, Josh Evans.

The man reportedly left in a rush shortly after he saw the blood on Evie’s face, according to a Fox 11 article. 

“You are not supposed to leave,” Evie’s father said. “I thought it was illegal, just like a hit-and-run,” Josh told NBC 4 L.A. in an interview.

The family went to the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station and asked to press charges, but deputies deemed the incident not a crime, according to Fox 11. He also approached Six Flags guest relations and security, but received no further information, according to Evans.  

“Our ride safety policy strictly prohibits all loose articles on rides,” Six Flags Magic Mountain told Fox 11. “Safety is a partnership between our guests and our park, and guests must follow all written and verbal instructions for safe riding.”

When Evie’s mother, Della White, called out for help after dismounting the coaster, employees seemed to have no interest in the situation and reportedly ignored their cry for help, according to Fox 11. 

Josh is unhappy with how Six Flags reportedly handled the situation, according to Fox 11.

“I guess it was a friendly way to say that they are not taking responsibility for what happened,” he said in an email to FOX 11. 

After the family left Six Flags, they visited an emergency room and Evie received a CT scan. 

The Evans family is now asking the owner of the cell phone to come forward and take responsibility for the incident, in addition to assisting in medical costs. 

“I would like for that to at least be taken care of,” White told NBC.
