A 2-year-old girl fell from a chairlift-style amusement park ride on the Jersey Shore Monday night.

The incident happened at Casino Pier's Sky Ride in Seaside Heights, New Jersey.

The toddler was riding with her aunt and a 3-year-old boy when she tumbled from the chair before the ride began moving.

She fell onto the edge of the boardwalk's entrance platform before landing in the sand below, a drop of roughly 10 to 12 feet.

The ride was quickly shut down, leaving the 3-year-old boy stranded in his chair.

Firefighters later used a ladder to safely bring him back down.

EMS staff checked out the toddler before she and her aunt were taken to Community Medical Center in Toms River for evaluation.

Police say the ride appeared to be functioning properly, with no obvious defects or signs of a malfunction.

The New Jersey Department of Community Affairs is investigating the incident.
