Police have confirmed that three people were injured during an incident at a fairground ride. The group, consisting of a woman and children, was transported to a local hospital for medical treatment following the event. While the specific nature of the injuries and the mechanical details of the ride remain under investigation, authorities have taken the step of closing the fairground for the remainder of the evening to ensure public safety and allow for an inquiry.

Currently, there is limited information regarding the exact cause of the incident or the current condition of those hospitalized. The BBC reports that police are managing the scene, but no further details regarding potential equipment failure or operator error have been released to the public at this time. The fairground will remain shuttered while officials assess the safety of the site. As this is an ongoing investigation, authorities have not yet provided a timeline for when the fair might be permitted to reopen to the public.
