A small fireworks display caused several people to have to go to the hospital.

NewsChannel5 reported that five people were hurt during an accident involving fireworks. Berea police said the residents on North Rocky River Drive tried to bundle 50 to 200 sparklers together. The sparklers were then put in a brass cylinder and lit. They exploded.

Five people were treated at Southwest General Health Center in Middleburg Heights.

One person suffered an injured eye and another had an abdominal injury, according to the nursing supervisor. She said the injuries were not life-threatening or burns. She did not provide other details.

Two others were treated and released, the nurse said. The fifth victim was not treated at the hospital, she said.

The accident happened in the middle of the street but a home and a car had a few windows blown out.

There were bricks placed around the sparklers and officials said one brick was found 225 feet away.
