RICHFIELD -- Strong winds broke off the arches of a 40-foot McDonald's sign Friday afternoon in Richfield.
The post is intact, but the top half of the sign broke off in the 60-70 mph winds and damage three vehicles.
Russ Horton of the Richfield police said a 14-year-old boy was injured when the sign crashed down on the car he was in around 12:30 p.m.
The boy hurt his head and had some other scrapes, but was otherwise okay.
The car he was in was totaled; the other two cars had minor damage.
The wind also ripped off the awning of a greenhouse at a nearby KMart.
