Girl Whose Feet Were Severed on Kentucky Amusement Park Ride Has Right Foot Reattached
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The right foot of a 13-year-old girl involved in a gruesome amusement park accident has been reattached, but her left foot was too severely damaged to repair, her family said in a statement Tuesday.
