A 15-year-old girl was recovering Saturday after she was injured on a ride at Coney Island.
Investigators with the Buildings Department say the teen was hurt
when a lap bar on the Polar Express ride apparently broke while the
ride was moving around six o’clock yesterday. The ride has been shut
down.
The DOB says it conducts periodic inspections on amusement park rides at the beginning and throughout the season.
There were no injuries or accidents on amusement rides citywide last year. There is no word yet on when the ride will re-open.
