A 17-year-old boy was killed Saturday when he was struck by the popular Batman ride at Six Flags Over Georgia.
 The Teen has been identified as 17-year-old Asia Leeshawn Ferguson of Springfield, S.C.
We still don’t know what happened,” said Asia Ferguson, the father of Asia LeeShawn Ferguson IV as they returned to their church from Six Flags Over Georgia.
“He was my oldest son. He was named after me. It’s tragic."
Asia described his son as a “beautiful young man. He was a happy-go-lucky guy. He was always smiling.”
Asia Ferguson said his son had not made a career decision, but they had talked about him joining the Navy after he graduated from high school.
The father discouraged his son enlisting because “he was not ready for the Navy.”
There were signs everywhere stating the area was a restricted area but Asia and his friend ignored the warnings.
According to the police and a statement from the amusement park, the boy, who was not identified, and a friend climbed over two 6-foot fences to get to the Batman roller coaster -- the park perimeter fence and a second one around the ride.
Asia Leeshawn was decapitated when he was struck by the ride, police said.
