Medics Respond To Ride Issue At West Alexander Fair

WEST ALEXANDER, Pa. — (WPXI) – Issues with a ride at the West Alexander Fair on Thursday night prompted a response from medics. Washington County 911 supervisor confirmed that medics were called to the fair around 7:45 p.m. after one of the rides “came to an abrupt stop.” WPXI spoke with Jayme Cain, who said her three kids were on the ride at the time. Cain tells Channel 11 the ride’s supports appeared to slip off the blocks holding it up. “All the kids came to an abrupt stop. Their faces hit the front. They were only in by a chain link, no real safety belt,” Cain explained. Cain said medics evaluated 10 kids, including hers. The ride appeared to be closed when Channel 11 arrived at the fair.
