2 girls hospitalized after being thrown from Ferris wheel in Louisiana

Two girls were hospitalized after being thrown from a Ferris wheel at the Harvest Festival in New Roads, Louisiana, on Saturday, authorities said. One suffered broken bones and the other may have bleeding in her brain. Photos showed a basket flipped upside down as the ride paused midair; witnesses said two girls fell at least 20 feet onto a steel platform while a third clung to the basket. The State Fire Marshal opened an investigation and closed the Ferris wheel and one nearby ride. The incident occurred around noon, the sheriff’s office said.
