DOSWELL, Va.-  A fun Fourth of July at a water park ended in an ugly way for one local couple.

Steve Orebaugh says his wife Christina was seriously hurt after something went wrong on the Tornado water slide at King’s Dominion.

The ride is now closed while park officials try to figure out what happened.

On Facebook, Orebaugh posted details about the ordeal on the tornado water ride. The post received thousands of comments and shares.

“Asking prayers for my wife. We were at Kings Dominion enjoying ourselves, we were on one of the water tubing rides and it flipped on us she hit her head knocked her out and she almost drowned,” Steve Orebaugh wrote on Facebook along with photos of his wife at the hospital.

He explained that as the couple’s tube was riding up the side of the 65-foot funnel, it abruptly flipped.

“It threw her up in the air and she came down on her head and shoulder,” family friend Tim Biller told WRIC.

Christina Orebaugh is hospitalized at VCU Medical Center with a broken shoulder, collarbone and foot. She also has a concussion and multiple staples in her head to help a nasty gash heal.

The couple is even more upset about what happened after the accident.

According to Steve Orebaugh, lifeguards didn’t seem to be paying attention, so he was forced to swim to his unconscious wife and hold her head above water so she wouldn’t drown.

“He said, ‘I don’t feel like there was a quick response at all. I had to save my wife’s life,” the family friend added.

A spokesperson for King’s Dominion released the following statement to WRIC:

“On Tuesday, July 4, around 2:00 pm, we received a report of a guest injury on the Tornado, a ride in the Soak City water park. Lifeguards who were at their posted positions in the water at the ride, as well as park medical staff, immediately responded. The guest was transported to the hospital. The safety of our guests and staff is always our number one priority and the ride remains closed at this time while park officials conduct an investigation.”

The Tornado has been a fixture at King’s Dominion since 2007.
