A spokeswoman for Ocean City, Maryland says a woman has been accidentally impaled in the chest by a beach umbrella.
According to spokeswoman Jessica Waters, the incident happened Sunday afternoon on the beach.
Waters says the 54-year-old woman was conscious, but her condition wasn't known at the time.
Waters says a Maryland State Police helicopter took the woman for medical care.
