CLEVELAND -- An 8-year-old boy severely shocked by a ride at the Lake County Fair has been released from the hospital.
Greyson Yoe remains in a coma. He is being placed in a hospice, NewsChannel5 reported. It appears improper grounding of the bumper car ride sent a jolt through Yoe after he touched a pole. Officials said the ride, called the Scooter, passed a seven-point electrical inspection by the state before the fair kicked off. A fund has been set up for the Yoe family. You can make a donation at any Great Lakes Bank, or you can mail a donation to:
The Greyson Yoe Safety Fund
