Uninjured 6-year-old pulled from crane-grab toy machine

ROSEBURG, Ore. – A Roseburg pizza shop is making it a little harder to access a game machine’s prizes after a 6-year-old girl climbed up the chute to get a stuffed animal.

The News-Review reported firefighters pulled an uninjured Melissa Angel Wilkerson out of the top of the ACME Crane Company game Saturday during a party for the girl’s birthday.

Ben Wilkerson says his daughter, who is autistic, wanted inside the machine and found a way.

Abby’s Legendary Pizza general manager Randy Rice says he’s glad no one was hurt.

He said the crane-grab toy machine was given a temporary fix until it can be replaced with a new machine in the coming weeks.
