A woman in her 40s is in hospital with life-threatening injuries following a malfunction on a funfair ride at the Lambeth Country Show in Brockwell Park. The incident, which occurred on the first day of the event (June 7), also left a man in his 40s with potentially life-changing injuries.
The Lambeth Country Show reopened today (June 8), but the funfair rides remain cordoned off as investigations continue. An 11-year-old girl, a man and woman in their 40s, and a man in his 50s were taken to hospital after the ride failure. The man in his 50s and the 11-year-old girl have since been discharged, Scotland Yard reported.
