Police: Rider killed at amusement park

? An accident involving a gyrating ride at an amusement park north of New York City left a young woman dead Friday night, police said.

The woman was killed while riding the Mind Scrambler ride about 9:30 p.m. at Playland Amusement Park in Rye, said Westchester County Police spokesman Kieran O’Leary. The indoor ride has cars that travel in a circular path while also rotating themselves.

Emergency workers responded quickly, but the woman was pronounced dead at the scene, O’Leary said. He said the woman was about 20 years old.

Police were still investigating early today, and no details about the circumstances of the accident were available. The woman’s name was not released because her family had not been notified, O’Leary said.
