Witnesses saw a woman “virtually standing up” while riding a roller coaster at an amusement park moments before she fell to her death, investigators said.
Tamar Fellner, 32, fell from the ride Saturday while it was in the midst of a 69-foot drop, said officials of the Holiday World park in Santa Claus.
Just before the accident, a person matching Fellner’s description “was seen in the last car of the roller coaster virtually standing up while the ride was in progress,” investigators said.
