Suffolk County Police Homicide detectives are investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of a carnival worker that was killed after he was struck by a ride in Brentwood.
The 22 year old male was coming off of a break from his job at The Feast of Mother Cabrini fair when he bent down and reached under the SCAT ride to grab something. When he stood up, he was struck in the head by the ride and was knocked to the ground.
The male, of 189 Van Buren St., Mastic, was transported to Stony Brook Hospital via Suffolk County Police helicopter where he was pronounced dead. The ride, one of several at the fair that is being held at Suffolk County Community College, located on Crooked Hill Road, Brentwood, had passengers at the time of the incident but they were not injured.
