A New Jersey water park is closed after a decorative helicopter hanging from a ceiling crashed into a swimming pool and injured four people Sunday afternoon, authorities said. The suspended prop fell just after 3 p.m. at the DreamWorks Water Park, a venue that is part of the American Dream shopping and entertainment complex in East Rutherford. One patron was hospitalized while three others were treated at the scene for minor injuries, New Jersey State Police said. None of the injuries were life-threatening.
