One person was killed and at least seven others injured when a ride malfunctioned Wednesday night at the Ohio State Fair in Columbus, which happened to be the first day of the fair being opened and allowing passengers on their rides.
As seen in a bystander’s video, a part of the mechanical ride came loose as the fast-moving ride swung, sending a carriage of passengers flying into the air.
Three of the injured remained hospitalized late Wednesday in critical condition, according to The Associated Press. The victims ranged in age from 13 to 41. Their names had not been released as of late Wednesday night.
