Luna Park crash – Teen, 17, killed in theme park ride crash after ‘being thrown from 70mph cable swing in high winds’

A FRENCH teenager was killed and another critically injured after they fell from a high-speed ride at an amusement park on Sunday.

The tragedy occurred in the popular resort town of Cap d’Agde on France’s southern coast after suspected strong winds rocked the ride at Luna Park and the two victims fell 180ft.

Local prosecutor Raphael Balland said: “Two people were victims of an accident while using the Adrenaline attraction.

“An adolescent aged 17 died of his injuries and a young woman of 19 was taken to hospital at Montpellier as an absolute emergency (case).”

Balland said that the teenagers struck obstacles as they plunged from the ride.
