Anaheim Fire and Rescue transported the seriously injured person to the hospital while two others were treated at the scene.

No other information about their injuries were released. A witness described an elderly woman taken away on a stretcher and a person with a bandage on their head.

The park remained open and visitors were directed away from the area. According to Disneyland News Today, workers secured other light poles in the area with cables as the high winds continued.
