    Description

    After a horrific accident at Cedar Point Sunday afternoon, several eyewitnesses are coming forward to recount the tragic incident in which a "small metal object" fell from the Top Thrill Dragster onto a female park guest.

    3News spoke with several guests who were at the Sandusky amusement park on Sunday and present when the incident took place, including David Vallo, who identified himself as a Registered Nurse.

    "There was a lot of commotion. A lot of people started screaming and hopping the gates and running towards the exit and everybody just started yelling this woman’s hurt this woman’s hurt this woman’s hurt," Vallo told 3News' Marisa Saenz. "Everybody’s running and so I went the other direction to try and find her. You know, I’ve been an ER nurse for a long time.”

    Vallo said he and other guests immediately sprang into action, assisting the still unidentified "female guest" who had been hit, telling 3News that the group used limited resources to triage her injuries.

    “I got on the ground with her and just did everything I could until Sandusky EMS arrived," the man told Saenz. “There was only so much we can do with people’s clothing and stuff like that to you know keep her calm and keep her safe and try and control the situation.”

    Vallo also said that both Cedar Point EMS and Sandusky EMS officials arrived quickly, and even helped to get he and other guests cleaned up after the incident. Even after the injured guest had left the park, Vallo says he couldn't quite process all that had happened, and that it still is with him today.
