Trio sentenced after fairground accident
THREE INDIVIDUALS and a company have been sentenced after a mother-of-eight was catapulted from a fairground ride in Hillingdon, London.
Mrs Khadra Ali spent four months in hospital after she was ejected from the Xcelerator ride at the Funderpark funfair in Yiewsley on 10 April 2018. Her family continue to provide her with the support she needs after suffering multiple fractures to her back, hips, pelvis, ribs, both collarbones as well as internal bleeding and a significant head injury. Mrs Ali, who was 45 at the time, went on the fast motion ride alongside her daughter but was not suitably restrained in her seat. As the ride picked up speed, Mrs Ali, now 51, screamed for help and clung on for some time before being ejected. She hit the barrier of the next ride and landed on the ground.
