Killington, Vermont - February 17, 2009
A young child was hospitalized after two chairlifts collided Sunday at Killington.
According to resort officials, one of the chairs was near the top of Bear Mountain, when it hit another chair.
The child went to the hospital with an apparently minor hip injury.
Resort officials say the accident happened after one of the wheels at the top of the chairlift system stopped working and caused the other chair to get tangled.
The lift was closed for the remainder of the day. It was fixed and reopened Monday.
