Hersheypark has closed a ride similar to the one involved in a fatal accident Wednesday indefinitely following an accident in Ohio that killed one person and injured seven, according to multiple reports.

The Claw at Hersheypark has never experienced any problem or issues but it will be closed as a precaution until more information has been gathered about the incident in Columbus, Ohio, park officials said. Though the Claw is similar to the Fire Ball ride, which is owned and operated by Amusements of America involved in the incident in Ohio, it was made by a different company. Additionally, the Claw is a stationary ride and the Fire Ball is moved to various locations, and has different inspections and maintenance requirements.

The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture has identified two rides that are similar to the Fire Ball that are registered in the state but not currently in operation, both operate under the name Afterburner. Those rides are also used at traveling carnivals and fairs like the Fire Ball, officials said. State officials have contacted the owners of those rides and ordered that the operation be suspended until more information has been determined in the Ohio incident.

Amusements of America, which owns the Fire Ball ride involved in the incident, has not been registered to operate rides in Pennsylvania since 2012, officials said.

Tyler Jarrell, the man who was killed was one of several people who were thrown to the ground when the ride malfunctioned. Jarrell had recently enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps, according to a Cleveland.com report.

Ohio State Medical Center said three of the injured were being treated there. Two of them were in critical condition, the hospital said Thursday. It is still unknown what caused the ride to break apart.

Another similar ride in Ocean City, Maryland was shut down after Wednesday's fatal incident.
