A rollercoaster ride is believed to have fallen off its tracks at the M&D's Theme Park in North Lanarkshire this afternoon.
The ride, called the Tsunami, is believed to have fallen 9 metres to the ground with eight to 10 people on board.
Emergency services said the incident was ongoing, but no further information was available.
The Daily Record newspaper cited eyewitness reports saying the carriage, carrying 10 people, on the Tsunami ride at M&D's theme park in Motherwell in southern Scotland flew off the rails as it turned a corner and plummeted to the ground.
“A serious incident occurred at M&D's today involving the Tsunami roller coaster. We have all emergency services on site to assist. The theme park is closed until further notice,” a spokeswoman for the park said in a statement.
Lanarkshire Police said emergency services were dealing with an incident at the theme park.
“At this time we are aware of 11 casualties – two adults and nine children, who are all being treated at local hospitals. We are unable to give more detail of their injuries at this stage,” it said in a statement posted on Facebook.
The Scottish ambulance service said six ambulance crews, a special operations response team and emergency doctors had been sent to the park.
