A Fourth of July fireworks shell misfired in a northern Iowa town, sending a fireball skidding down a street into a crowd of spectators and injuring 37 people.Most of the people treated after the Friday night accident in Charles City suffered minor injuries.
It appears there was a misfire involving 13 racks of firework tubes during the finale of the city-sponsored show, Assistant Fire Chief Dave Boehmer said Saturday.
The city of about 7,800 people is 125 miles northeast of Des Moines, near the Minnesota state line.
In other news, in Riverside, Ohio, a man lost part of his leg when fireworks went off inside his parked sport-utility vehicle, blowing the windows out.
