According to The Indian Express, upwards up 16 people were injured in the accident, a group made up of mostly women and children. "We saw people falling from the swing when it went up. There were children and women sitting in it," a witness told the daily. The Tribune adds that the ride was approximately 80 feet high and ambulances were not present to help transfer those injured to the hospital. That left bystanders to rush those to nearby hospitals, where at least five were admitted per sources. Injuries reported by the paper include neck, abdominal, and back pain.
