A Six Flags worker died after she fell out of a moving van and hit her head on the pavement while working the Georgia park’s Fright Fest Sunday, according to officials and reports.
The employee, married mother of three Andrea Crook, was a passenger in the Ford Econoline van riding on a staff-only road at the Six Flags Over Georgia park when she was suddenly “ejected” from the back of the vehicle that was carrying five adults and two minors on the job, police said, according to WAGA.
“It’s a cargo van, so there are no seats back there. At some point, making a maneuver in the park, one of the passengers was ejected from the van and sustained serious severe head trauma,” said Cobb County Police Sgt. Wayne Delk told the station.
The 43-year-old fell out of the rear doors of the van as it drove through an uphill curve and was quickly taken to a local hospital where she died.

A Six Flags worker told WAGA anonymously actors working Fright Fest are “always transported in the vans because they don’t want actors in makeup going through different parts of the park, so they go behind the scenes.”
Six Flags Over Georgia President Dave Zellner said staff was “heartbroken” over Crook’s death.
“Our hearts and our thoughts are extended to the family of the employee as well as those impacted by this tragic automobile accident,” he said in a statement, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
No charges have been filed against the driver, though authorities are still investigating.
“Investigators are looking at several different factors to determine what charges would be appropriate, but yes there’s definitely a potential for charges,” Delk, the Cobb County sergeant said, according to WAGA.
