DUCK!
A Florida thrill-seeker was knocked unconscious when a duck smashed into her face while she was riding a roller coaster at SeaWorld, she claims in a wild $50,000 lawsuit.
Things went a-fowl for Hillary Martin, of Orange County, when the bird careened into her noggin on the park’s high-speed Makoroller coaster in March — causing her head injuries, according to the suit, filed Monday.
Martin, who is demanding $50,000, alleges SeaWorld created “a zone of danger” for bird strikes by operating a ride that disorients waterfowl near a body of water, according to the lawsuit, cited by WFTV.

Martin suffered permanent injuries, disfigurement, and mental pain and suffering and had to pay medical expenses, the suit states.

“The safety of our guests and employees is a top priority and we take these situations seriously,” a SeaWorld spokeswoman told The Post Wednesday. The rep declined to comment beyond that.
