SHREWSBURY, Mass. -- A carnival ride broke apart during a church fair Sunday, killing a man and injuring two other people.

Shrewsbury police said the spinning-car ride came apart about 2 p.m. near Saint Mary's Church and parochial school. Witnesses said they saw one of the men being thrown from the ride and crashing to the ground.

"It was really just a nightmare, a lot of children crying, mothers crying, more blood than I've ever seen," said Kathleen Madaus, 44, of Shrewsbury.

"I saw (one victim) about a foot off the ground and land on his face," said Madaus' 11-year-old daughter, Elizabeth. "There were like 5-year-olds who had to see that and I feel bad for them."
