A 10-year-old girl in New Jersey died Saturday night after she was ejected from an amusement park ride at a town festival, police said.

The victim, who hasn’t been identified, fell from a “Wisdom Super Sizzler” ride at the Deerfield Township Harvest Festival about 6:20 p.m., authorities said.

She was airlifted to Cooper Hospital, where she died.

Police said they are still investigating what caused the tragedy.

Skelly’s Amusement, the company that provides the festival’s rides, said in a Facebook post they would not operate on Sunday — despite state approval to do so.

“We are absolutely heartbroken,” the company said in another statement.

“Words cannot express our feelings and we extend our deepest sympathies to the individual’s family and loved ones.”
