Greeneville, Tenn. (WCYB) — Three children were rushed to a Tennessee hospital Monday evening after falling an estimated 45 feet from a Ferris wheel at the Greene County Fair.
Dakota Ragan was standing nearby when the Ferris wheel caught his eye.
“I saw the kids, they were just rocking the thing, which I didn’t think was such a big deal, most people rock it anyway,” Ragan said. “But they were rocking it hard.”
That’s when the unthinkable happened, he said the the basket the three kids were rocking hit another basket and got stuck upside-down.
“They hit and I guess the force just brought them back and they went right over,” he said, describing the three fall to the ground.
Detectives say one victim is in the intensive care unit with a head injury and the other two victims are alert and talking.
