8 injured after ride collapse at S. Kentucky amusement park

A swing at Beech Bend Park in Bowling Green tipped over giving children and their parents a scare.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WHAS11) – It was a scary moment for parents and riders at a southern Kentucky amusement park Saturday afternoon.

Beech Bend park officials say a children's swing ride tipped over, leaving 8 people with non-life threatening injuries.

Eye witnesses say small children came crashing to the ground while others were suspended in mid-air.

While state investigators will determine the exact cause of the accident, WHAS-TV's affiliate WBKO reports uneven weight distribution may have played a factor.
