Rollercoaster Reopening in Texas: Death Investigation Completed

A Texas amusement park is reopening the rollercoaster from which a 52-year-old woman fell to her death as her family sues the company for negligence.

Six Flags’ announcement comes on the heels of a lawsuit filed earlier Tuesday by Rosa Esparza’s family, which alleged the park ignored dangers and is seeking at least $1,000,000 in damages.

In a news release Tuesday, Six Flags said it completed its investigation into the accident and has ruled out any mechanical failure of the ride.

“Due to litigation, the company is not releasing any further information about the outcome of the investigation,” the release read.
