A six-year-old boy has been airlifted to hospital after reportedly falling from a rollercoaster at a theme park in North Yorkshire. A witness said he saw the child fall “face down” from the Twister rollercoaster at Lightwater Valley shortly before midday on Thursday. He said he was “quite surprised” the theme park was kept open. Lara-Susan James, who was in the queue for the Twister ride, told the BBC: “We could hear a girl screaming, and I mean screaming. In 2017, the theme park was fined £40,000 after a five-year-old girl suffered serious injuries when her leg became trapped on the Ladybird rollercoaster.
