ARLINGTON, Texas -
Six Flags Over Texas confirms an adult woman died while riding the Texas Giant roller coaster.

Officials at Six Flags released the following statement:

"We are deeply saddened to share that earlier this evening an adult woman died in the park while on the Texas Giant. Park medical staff and local paramedics responded immediately. Since the safety of our guests and employees is our number one priority, the ride has been closed pending further investigation. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends during this difficult time."
