The four parkgoers injured and rushed to hospital when a rider fell to his death from a roller coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia were children, cops said.
Technology teacher Hassan Kariem, 42, was killed when he was flung from the high-speed Goliath hypercoaster just before 4 p.m. on Monday at the park near Atlanta.
The four kids hurt in the tragedy were taken to hospital in ambulances with non-life-threatening injuries, according to cops.
“Because they were all juveniles, no further information can be shared,” E.D. Smith, the Cobb County police public information officer, told The Post.
Six Flags said it would be reopening the park Friday, but Goliath will remain “temporarily closed,” a park spokesperson told ABC News Wednesday.
Cobb County Police Department’s Major Crimes Unit and Georgia’s Office of the Commissioner of Insurance and Safety Fire, which is responsible for the safety of amusement park rides in Georgia, are investigating the accident.
