Thirty-two people on a ride at Six Flags America in Prince George’s County, Maryland, were rescued Saturday afternoon after a ride malfunctioned.
Prince George’s County Fire and Rescue said that the riders became stuck around 3:25 p.m. at the park in Bowie.
Shortly before 5 p.m., the fire department said that all riders were rescued safely from the ride.
A fire and rescue official said one person who was transported to a hospital was dealing with a medical issue “unrelated to the rescue.”
Injuries to that person were said to be serious, but not life-threatening. Six Flags America and Hurricane Harbor announced earlier this year that they will be closing in November.Get breaking news and daily headlines delivered to your email inbox by signing up here.
