Six people were injured when a ride that was part of the Independence Day Carnival in Oak Harbor, Washington, tipped over on Wednesday, July 3, local authorities said.

The injured individuals were treated on-site for minor injuries, according to a press release by the City of Oak Harbour.

Authorities said that the ride was secured and shut down, and that an investigation would be carried out to determine the cause of the incident.

Images taken by Alex Bennett show the ride, a chair swing, tipped over onto its side.

Bennett said that their son was on the ride when it felt over.

“That was my priority to get him out and then I ran back to help a woman who had hurt her leg/knee while my husband was getting another person who was stuck in a seat unstuck,” Bennett told Storyful.

Bennett added that they were thankful because “it could have been way worse.” Credit: Alex Bennett via Storyful
