The Ohio State Fair is open today but its rides are closed for inspections after 18-year-old Tyler Jarrell was killed and seven more injured Wednesday evening when the Fire Ball ride he was on broke apart in mid-air, the Ohio State Highway Patrol said.
Tyler’s father, Anthony Jarrell, told ABC News, “He was loved and had a future, until the disaster at the Ohio fair. My question is who [is] responsible for not doing their job of inspecting the rides?”
The seven people also injured at the state fair ride in Columbus, Ohio, have been identified by authorities: Tamika Dunlap, 36; Russell Franks, 42; Keziah Lewis, 19; Jacob Andrews, 22; Jennifer Lambert, 18; and Abdihakim Hussein, 19. A 14-year-old boy was wounded but his name has not been publicly released.
Three people were listed in critical condition today and one was listed in serious condition. The other two injured were released from the hospital.
All rides at the fair have been shut down “until the state has inspected each and every ride again and deemed them to be safe,” fair officials tweeted.
