PORTLAND, Oregon (AP) — Emergency crews in Oregon rescued 28 people Friday after they were stuck for about half an hour dangling upside down high on a ride at a century-old amusement park.

In this photo provided by Tieanna Joseph Cade, an amusement park ride is shown stuck with 30 people trapped upside down in Portland, Oregon on Friday, June 14, 2024. Portland Fire and Rescue said Friday on the social media site X that firefighters worked with engineers at Oaks Park to manually lower the ride. All riders were being evacuated and medically evaluated, it said.

One rider with a pre-existing medical condition was taken to a hospital for further evaluation as a precaution, Oaks Amusement Park said in a statement posted on social media. Medics released all other passengers. They decided to walk away because of"how scary the situation was," he said. They eventually got on the Ferris wheel and heard a loudspeaker announcement that the park was closed and that people should evacuate.
