Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom says it has reached a settlement with the family of a Louisville girl whose feet were severed following an accident at the amusement park last year.
Kaitlyn Lasitter was 13 years old when she was injured after a cable broke on the Superman Tower of Power ride in June 2007. Doctors reattached her right foot, but were unable to save her left foot.
Kentucky Kingdom spokeswoman Carolyn McLean said Friday that the settlement will provide lifetime care for Kaitlyn. She said terms of the agreement are confidential.
Calls to Kaitlyn's father Randy and the family's attorney were not immediately returned.
A state report blamed a faulty cable and a ride operator's slow response, but officials say there's no way of knowing why the cable snapped.
