AUSTELL, Ga. -- A 17-year-old park visitor was struck and killed Saturday by the Batman roller coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia.
The incident, which happened at approximately 2 p.m., occurred when the teenager jumped over a fence labeled danger zone, said Hela Sheth, a spokeswoman for the park.
“We do not know why this person was intent on gaining access to this restricted area, Sheth said in a written statement. Multiple signs clearly state ‘Do Not Enter’ and ‘Authorized Personnel Only’," said Sheth.
Some witnesses have stated that the teen was trying to retrieve a ball. Others reported that he was trying to touch the ride.
