Authorities close two Medellin amusement parks to review safety conditions and maintenance after an accident in Parque Norte killed a little girl, El Tiempo reported Monday.

On Saturday the Emergency Brigade ride filled with children “went crazy” and spun out of control ejecting four kids, and killing 5-year-old Juliana Jaramillo Gomez.

The Medellin Mayor’s Office closed Parque Norte and Juan Pablo II Monday to review safety measures at the parks. According Mayor Alonso Salazar, a thorough investigation of the tragedy will be conducted to ensure the safety of the park-goers.

A psychological support team was assigned by the Mayor’s Office to help the families of the victims. In addition, it is reported that the city will take on all medical and funeral expenses of the victims.

Five-year-old Juliana Jaramillo Gomez was laid to rest Monday in a cemetery in Medellin.
