(BARTHOLOMEW CO.) - A Bartholomew County reserve deputy was injured Saturday night, when the floor of a ride at the county 4-H fair collapsed.

Judy Jackson, spokeswoman for the sheriff's department, says a woman suffered a seizure while on the ride at the fair. As rescue workers were on the ride trying to help her, the metal floor collapsed. Sheriff Matt Myers and Fair Board President Larry Fisher shut down the ride for the rest of the night, until it could be inspected.

Assisting at the scene were the Columbus Township Volunteer Fire Department and Columbus Regional Hospital paramedics.
