Logan Carter, 12, died after falling from a piece of playground apparatus at Wharton Recreation Ground in Winsford, Cheshire, on Friday evening. His heartbroken father has paid tribute following the tragic incident.
The boy fell from a roundabout at the recreation ground near Ledward Street. Medical teams attempted to save Logan's life but were unable to do so.
Second fatal incident
This marks the second death at Wharton Recreation Ground in recent years. Cason Hallwood died at the same location on Christmas Day 2020, raising serious concerns about playground safety.
Claims suggest an e-bike may have been involved in spinning the roundabout apparatus before Logan's fall. However, these reports remain unconfirmed as investigations continue.
Safety concerns mount
The repeat tragedy has highlighted ongoing safety issues at the popular community recreation area. Emergency services responded quickly to Friday's incident but could not prevent the devastating outcome.
The local community now faces difficult questions about playground equipment safety and supervision. Authorities are expected to review safety measures following this second fatal incident at the same location.
