A 38-year-old man has died days after he was hit by a roller coaster at an Ohio amusement park, officials confirmed on Monday.
Arntanaro Nelson, of Wilmington, Ohio, suffered a “traumatic injury” Wednesday night at the Kings Island theme park in Mason, according to a Mason Police Department incident report.
Nelson had entered a restricted, fenced area near the Banshee roller coaster “and is believed to have been struck by the ride” around 8 p.m., a spokesperson for the park said in a statement.
The park’s safety and first aid workers responded at the scene, and the man was transported to the hospital in critical condition.
He died on Friday, according to Justin Weber, the chief investigator for the Hamilton County Coroner’s Office.
A cause of death is pending investigation, with the final autopsy results expected to take eight to 10 weeks, he said.
