1 dead and 7 injured after ride in Ohio breaks down
 

One person has been killed and another three are fighting for their lives after a ride malfunction at the Ohio State Fair.
The 18-year-old man who was killed slammed to the ground after part of the ride 'snapped off', and died on impact.

A sixth and seventh person were also injured, but they are said to be in a stable condition. The accident took place on the Fire Ball ride shortly before 7:30pm.

Three of the injured were taken to OhioHealth Grant Medical Center, while the other four were rushed to Ohio State University’s Wexner Medical Center, the Columbus Dispatch reports.

The ride combines a swinging and spinning motion, flinging people back and forth through the air and around in circles.

One of the people treated at the scene was a child under the age of 13.
