CNN is reporting that one person was killed Wednesday evening when a ride malfunctioned during opening day at the Ohio State Fair in Columbus, the state's highway patrol said.
Ohio State Highway Patrol Superintendent Col. Paul A. Pride said seven other people were injured, three of whom are in critical condition.
The ride, called the Fireball, consists of at least six rows of seats that spin around as the entire structure moves like a pendulum.
A video posted online appears to show several people on the ride seconds before parts of the structure break apart.
The incident was followed by a chaotic scene. Kaylie Bellomy said she was waiting her turn to get on the Fire Ball when she suddenly found herself in the middle of a crowd.
Three patients were transported to Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, hospital spokeswoman Eileen Scahill said.
