A Tennessee woman is dead after an accident Sunday afternoon on a Pigeon Forge amusement ride. Family friends of June Carol Alexander, 51, say she tried to get off the ride at the last minute when it started to move. The accident happened shortly after noon on a ride called "The Hawk" at the Rockin' Raceway, an amusement park on Pigeon Forge's popular parkway.
