UPDATE: New London Park Re-Opens After Scrambler Incident that Injured Four Children

NEW LONDON, CT – Police and other officials have determined the cause of an electrical shock that injured five people, including four juveniles, on an amusement park ride Tuesday, according to media reports.

Six kids felt some form of electrical shock when riding the Scrambler close to 2 p.m. at Ocean Beach Park, according to a release. The Connecticut State Police and New London police and fire departments were called to investigate the situation, while the victims were transported to Lawrence + Memorial Hospital for treatment.

The cause has been determined to be electrical issues, according to State Police. The five injuries were described as very minor, but all rides at the park had been closed for the day pending investigation by authorities.

One child reportedly touched a nearby fence and suffered minor burns and red marks, according to a release. All rides were shut down until the cause of the shock was determined, and reports had originally linked the incident to rain storms earlier in the day.
