A Walt Disney World employee broke his leg Sunday afternoon after he was struck by a guest driving a car at the Tomorrowland Speedway in the Magic Kingdom, authorities said.
The unidentified employee was airlifted to Orlando Regional Medical Center in stable condition, said Bo Jones, deputy fire chief with Reedy Creek Emergency Services.
The accident occurred just before 1 p.m., Jones said. Disney temporarily closed the attraction but re-opened it less than three hours later.
The gas-powered ride vehicles used in the Tomorrowland Speedway have top speeds of 7 mph.
