News: Second death at Adventureland

By Aaron

Sep. 1st, 2005 -- Two days after a ride operator stepped onto a roller coaster track and was killed by a train, a second death has occurred at the Adventureland amusement park on Long Island. Today a woman was thrown out of the park's spinning Top Scan ride into the windshield of a parked car.

Police say the unidentified woman was flung from the ride over a 20-foot-wall before she smashed into the car. It is unknown whether the woman was wearing the required safety harness.

The Ladybug Coaster, the ride involved in Tuesday night's fatal accident, has been cleared for reopening. Top Scan will remain closed while an investigation is underway.
