State Report Released In Fatal Ferris Wheel Fall, 11-Year-Old At Fault

11-year-old Abiah Jones died after falling from The Giant Wheel at Mariner’s Landing

WILDWOOD, N.J. (CBS) – A state report finds an Atlantic County girl likely was not sitting properly in a ferris wheel at Morey’s Piers in Wildwood earlier this month before she fell from the ride to her death.

There were no mechanical defects in the Giant Wheel that could have led to Abiah Jones’ fatal plunge.

So says the preliminary report by the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs, which finds the 11-year-old from Pleasantville met the conditions on age and height for riding alone.
