An annual fall festival in New Jersey ended in tragedy Saturday night when a 10-year-old girl fell off one of the rides and died after being airlifted to a hospital. The details surrounding her fall are still under investigation by New Jersey State Police.
The incident occurred Saturday night at around 6:15 p.m. in Deerfield Township. The child was on a ride called "Extreme," which features booths that twist around individually as the entire ride spins in circles.
State police issued a statement about the incident on Facebook, saying the girl suffered from serious injuries from the accident and was airlifted Cooper Hospital about an hour later. They have not released any updated information.
Skelly's Amuseuments later added that they "don't have it in our heart" to operate rides Sunday and provided refunds at the festival ticket booth.
