At least one person was killed when a ride malfunctioned at the Ohio State Fair on Wednesday, Columbus Fire Battalion Chief Steve Martin said, according to the Columbus Dispatch and CNN affiliate WCMH.

It was the first day of the fair.

Three patients were transported to Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, hospital spokeswoman Eileen Scahill said.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich tweeted his condolences.

"I am terribly saddened by this accident, by the loss of life and that people were injured enjoying Ohio's fair. Our thoughts and prayers go out to those grieving and injured," Kasich said. "I have ordered a full investigation into this incident and have ordered that all fair rides be shut down until additional safety inspections can be completed."

State officials began inspecting some of the rides on Monday, CNN affiliate WSYX reported. More than 70 rides were to be inspected.

The Dispatch reported the inspections were delayed by recent rain.

Probably very young victims. Tragedy for all of them.

That's a significant and frightening malfunction. All those poor victims and families. I can't imagine watching a loved one get hurt or killed.

Crap, that is horrible. On the video, it looks like it was too low and hit the barrier? Or did it already break off and that was why it was low?
The problem with having an open mind is that people keep trying to put things in it.
