Park ride breaks down; 16 people hurt 3AGAWAM, Mass. — A section of steel track on an amusement park ride apparently broke, jolt ing cars as they rolled over the area and slightly injuring 16 pas sengers. The “Musik Express” ride mal functioned Sunday night, shak ing its cars with an impact akin to “hitting a pothole in your car,” said Kate Homer, director of op erations at Riverside Park. She said 47 people were on the ride in vehicles that are attached to one another and travel in a cir cle around the steel track. When the track broke, the cars’ wheels bumped over a depression, but the cars did not derail. An operator stopped the ride after hearing a strange noise. All 16 people were treated at hospi tals and released, she said. Horner said the ride was in spected Sunday morning and has never had a problem before. n'1tlzza Pipeline GET THE REAL DEAL KFreeDellV tfttciutfna Any 12” One Item Pizza Plus One (I) FREE 22 oz.
