Five people were rushed to hospital – including one child – and dozens more were injured when a fireworks display exploded into the crowd at a carnival near Paris today. Dramatic footage appears to show a huge fireball sparking terror among the watching crowd, injuring children as young as two. The horrific accident happened in Villepinte, in the French capital’s northern suburbs, where children when a wooden guy-style figure dubbed Mr Carnival went up in smoke. Dozens were injured, including 18 seriously including three children, with Paris fire brigade spokeswoman Nathalie Crespin saying many people suffered facial injuries. She said five had been hospitalised, including one child, but their lives were not in danger.
