A person was hospitalized Saturday afternoon after they fell off a State Fair of Texas tram, officials have confirmed.
About 3:45 p.m., fair officials were notified that a person had fallen off the tram, said Taylor Austin, a spokesperson for the State Fair of Texas.
“First aid responded immediately and determined the person required additional medical attention,” Austin said in a written statement Sunday evening.
Dallas-Fire Rescue spokesman Jason Evans said the department was called to the 4300 block of Pennsylvania Avenue shortly before 4 p.m. in response to an incident involving a tram.
No information was available Sunday evening related to the condition of the person who was injured, Evans added.
The fair had a delayed opening Sunday, a day after a shooting that wounded three people — two men and a women — led to an evacuation of the fairgrounds. Cameron Turner, 22, was arrested in connection with the shooting and is facing three counts of aggravated assault.
