‘People fell to ground’ after rollercoaster partly derailed at Grona Lund amusement park in Stockholm
Abortion in the US: a year since Roe v Wade was overturned, rights are complex, contested and often unclearGrona Lund said in a statement the 140-year-old park was closed until further notice. A spokesperson could not immediately be reached for comment.
Jenny Lagerstedt, a journalist visiting the park with her family, told SVT she was nearby and heard a metallic noise and noticed the track structure was shaking at the time of the incident. “My husband saw a rollercoaster car with people in it falling to the ground,” Lagerstedt said. “My children were scared,” she added.
The steel-tracked Jetline rollercoaster reaches a speed of up to 90km/h and a height of 30m , transporting more than one million visitors each year, the amusement park says on its website.“My thoughts are with those that were affected as well as their families and loved ones,” Liljestrand said in a statement to the TT news agency. – Reuters
