3Novices:11 hurt as rollercoaster flies of rails in Scotland

London // Eleven people including nine children were injured on Sunday when a rollercoaster crashed at a theme park in Scotland.

Images posted on social media showed a mangled carriage and a number of people trapped upside down in their seats in the Tsunami ride at M&D's amusement park near Glasgow.

The ride had been full when it derailed, according to eyewitnesses. The park was evacuated after the accident, according to its website.

"Kids and adults are still on it upside down," said Katie Burns, who had just ridden the rollercoaster and was walking past it when the crash occurred.

"It's like something out a horror film, children crying and everything," she wrote on Facebook.

Lanarkshire police said: "At this time we are aware of 11 casualties - two adults and nine children, who are all being treated at local hospitals."

Six ambulance crews, a specialist operation team and emergency doctors were sent to the scene, the Scottish Ambulance Service said.
