Girl, 10, Found Unconscious On Magic Mountain Ride Dies

Jasmine Martinez, the 10-year-old who lost consciousness while riding the Revolution roller coaster at California's Six Flags Magic Mountain, has died.

Paramedics were quickly called to the scene about 4 p.m. Friday after the girl was found unconscious, but still breathing, at the end of the ride. Around 4:45 p.m., Jasmine was airlifted to Northridge Hospital Medical Center. She was later transferred to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where she died a day later, reported the Los Angeles Times. An autopsy is currently pending.

Following the incident, Magic Mountain closed the roller coaster, in accordance with state guidelines.

However, the Revolution was reopened since "there is no evidence to suggest that this was in any way ride related," said Magic Mountain via statement, according to KTLA.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with Jasmine's family and friends during this difficult time," added the theme park.

More than 45 million people have safely ridden the Revolution since it opened in 1976, nearly 40 years ago, said the Los Angeles Times.
