Smoke and steam poured out of the stricken ride in the village of La Hestre, Manage. Three people were raced to hospital – including a ten-year-old girl. They remain in a serious condition following the incident on Sunday evening. Shocking footage shows the ride going around in a circular motion. Suddenly, the riders are thrown into the air and crash down the ground. Bruno Pozzoni, the mayor of Manage, told RTL Info those injured were conscious when rushed to hospital. He added: “She [the ten-year-old girl] is out of danger. “It’s polytrauma, she is still being followed, but she is out of danger.” “One person remains in a worrying state, it is a young girl hospitalised in Tivoli for whom there is a follow-up. “Three of the victims have been operated on and are in the orthopedic service. “One is released and one person is in psychological distress and is supported by psychologists to try to reduce his trauma.”
