A woman was thrown to death from a roller coaster in France, as her husband desperately tried to catch her, according to reports.
The unidentified 32-year-old mother was celebrating her 2-year-old son’s birthday at Saint-Paul Park in Oise on Saturday when the tragedy occurred on a Formula 1 trip, Messenger Picard said.
“She reviewed the [safety] bar and her husband tried to catch her by the foot, ”a witness named Farida told the newspaper.
It is the same trip where a 35-year-old woman died after being deported in 2009, according to the newspaper.
Park officials confirmed to FR24 News that a woman died at the scene on Saturday after falling while the ride was “running.”
“The park area has been completely closed to visitors,” Parc Saint-Paul director Gilles Campion said in a press release, FR24 said.
“All teams join the family to express their deep sadness after this event.”
Police are still investigating the cause of the park’s fatal accident that attracts nearly 380,000 visitors per year, according to reports.
