The back car fell off the Cobra rollercoaster track at an amusement park in Denmark, killing one young girl and injuring a young boy.
A 14-year-old girl has died after a rollercoaster at an amusement park in Denmark malfunctioned, derailing the rear two seats of the ride.
The accident happened at the Tivoli Friheden theme park in Aarhus, Denmark’s second-largest city.
Park manager Henrik Ragborg Olsen told local new site Aarhus Stiftstidende that the two rear seats of the Cobra rollercoaster were hanging “under the wagon train.”
East Jutland Police confirmed to TV2 that they received a call around 12:50 p.m. Thursday reporting that there had been an accident on the rollercoaster and people were stuck in the cars. Two people were taken to hospital by emergency workers.
In addition to the young girl who lost her life, a 13-year-old boy also injured his hand in the incident, police said.
The 400 metre-long rollercoaster is 25 metres tall and the wagons have a top speed of 70 km/h, according to the Tivoli Friheden website.
The park has been closed since the incident happened and police are questioning witnesses.
An anonymous source told Aarhus Stiftstidende they had been visiting the park earlier this week and noticed the rollercoaster was operating all day without placing passengers in the back car of the ride.
