Three people, two children and an adult, were injured Sunday night when a mechanical failure occurred on an amusement ride at the Cass County Fair, in Atlantic.  According to KETV in Omaha, the mechanical failure, which was reported around 7:40 p.m. at the Cass County Fair, caused the arms of the octopus ride to slam to the ground. The ride is located just outside of the “Kids Barn” portion of the two commercial buildings on the northwest side of the fairgrounds.

An adult and child went to Cass County Memorial Hospital by ambulance. The other child went to the hospital in a private vehicle. The ride is currently shut down. No further information was given. We’ll update this story on KJAN as officials provide us with more details.
