YORK, Pa. — YORK, Pa. (AP) - Authorities say a Ferris wheel at a Pennsylvania fair will remain closed following an accident that injured two people, one of whom fell from the attraction.

York Fair chief executive officer Bryan Blair said one person fell from a car on the Giant Wheel on the midway at about 8 p.m. Friday. He said the other person in the car didn't fall but couldn't confirm Saturday whether the person was on the ride or on the ground.
