Three children were seriously hurt in a theme park rollercoaster accident, which resulted in 10 people being taken to hospital.

A total of eight children and two adults were taken to hospital after the Tsunami ride derailed and hit the ground at M&D's amusement park at Strathclyde Country Park, North Lanarkshire, on Sunday.

Witnesses said people were trapped upside down when the ride came off the rails at around 3.40pm.

One adult is in a stable condition at Glasgow Royal Infirmary, a health board spokesman confirmed. NHS Lanarkshire said five patients were taken to Wishaw General Hospital.
