SANDUSKY, Ohio — A man who entered a restricted area at Ohio’s Cedar Point amusement park to look for a lost cell phone has been struck by a roller coaster and killed.
Police say James A. Young had just finished riding the Raptor on Thursday and jumped over a fence to retrieve something he dropped during the 57 mph ride. The Erie County coroner says it was his cell phone.
Sandusky police say Young was struck by the ride or someone on it. No one else was hurt.
