ONE person was killed and nine injured, including children, in a roller coaster accident at the Grona Lund amusement park in the Swedish capital yesterday, a park official and police said.
Witnesses said the park’s Jetline roller coaster had partly derailed during a ride, sending people crashing to the ground. “This is tragic and shocking, and regrettably we’ve learned that one person has died,” Grona Lund spokesperson Annika Troselius told public broadcaster SVT.
Police said nine people were being treated in hospital, including three who had severe injuries. Grona Lund said in a statement the 140-year-old park was closed until further notice.
