Russia.- A carousel has collapsed this Saturday in an amusement park, located in the Russian city of Orenburg.
As a result of the incident, about 20 people, mostly children, were injured, according to the local department of the Russian Interior Ministry.
For their part, the city authorities told the press that according to witnesses some people did not wait for ambulances and took the injured to hospitals on their own, so the number of victims could vary.
According to preliminary information, the incident was caused by a failure in the carousel mechanism (of the flying chair type), which collapsed while fully operational. A criminal case has been opened for providing services that do not meet security requirements.
