Two men were killed and two women injured Saturday when an amusement park roller coaster jumped the track.
The Chimera ride at the Chapultepec Fair derailed after it hit a metal structure that is part of the roller coaster, Notimex, Mexico's state-run news agency, reported.
The last car of the ride came loose and fell more than 30 feet, officials said.
