Several people have been injured in a ‘serious’ theme park rollercoaster accident in Stockholm's Grona Lund amusement park.

Witnesses told SVT that the theme park ride had partly derailed.

"We are emptying the park and we've started our investigation," a police spokesperson said.

They added: "Seven people were injured in connection with the accident and are now being treated in hospital.

"It concerns both children and adults. The extent of the damage is unclear.

"The police continue to assist the rescue service in the rescue work and, in parallel, have begun the work of investigating what caused the accident."

A black banner on the park's website said: "A serious accident has taken place on the Jetline. We are working with the rescue services. The park is closed for now."

A witness named Cornelia, who had just been on the ride with her son, told Sweden's TV4: "There was a lot of screaming. No one knew what was going on."

Head of information at the park Annika Troselius told Aftonbladet: "I have just arrived on site and will receive an update on the situation.

"The park has been evacuated and emergency services are on site. Now we focus on taking care of the affected and our staff.

"The reason for that is something that we must return to. Everyone is one hundred percent focused on helping the victims now."

Jenny Lagerstedt, a journalist visiting the park with her family, told SVT: "My husband saw a roller coaster car with people in it falling to the ground.

"My children were scared"

LADbible has contacted the park and police for comment.

The Jetline roller coaster reaches 56mph (90kmh) and 30m (98ft) high.

"An action-packed roller coaster with heights and bends that cause 1 million riders to shriek with delight each season," the park's website reads.

"Jetline is a classic steel-track coaster designed by the legendary roller coaster manufacturers, Anton Schwartzkopf."
