Police: 3 people fall from Ferris wheel in Tennessee

GREENEVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Three people who fell 30 to 45 feet from a Ferris wheel in Tennessee were responsive and answering questions Monday night, police said.

The oldest of the three who fell from the ride at a county fairground is a 16-year-old girl, according to Greeneville Police Detective Capt. Tim Davis.

The detective told The Greeneville Sun (http://bit.ly/2b4q77I ) officers were interviewing witnesses to determine what happened.

"We treat it like a crime scene until we determine there's no foul play," Davis said. "We don't know at this time what caused the accident."

That's a long ways up. They are very lucky to be alive.
