One person has ended up in hospital following an incident at a Cornish theme park.
It happened in one of the carriages on the Space Race at Helston's Flambards on Tuesday morning (26th July).
South Western Ambulance Service says a patient took themselves to Treliske to receive treatment.
The ride remains closed while an investigation is carried out by specialist engineers at the park along with the Health and Safety Executive.
Bosses at Flambards say the health and safety of visitors and staff is their top priority.
A Flambards spokesperson said: “At 11:45 this morning (Tuesday 26th July) there was an incident at Flambards Theme Park in one of the carriages of our undercover ride Space Race, which caused the Ride Operator to perform an emergency stop.
"One adult attended Royal Cornwall Hospital in Truro to receive treatment.
"The Park Specialist engineers are carrying out a full investigation in conjunction with the Health and Safety Executive, to establish the cause of the incident.
"The health and safety of our visitors and staff is our top priority and as a result the Space Race ride will remain closed until a full investigation has taken place.”
