Berlin, Sep 17 (EFE).- An accident on the roller coaster attraction of the traditional Beer Festival in Munich left eight minor injuries, municipal authorities reported this Sunday.
For reasons that have not yet been established, two trains had a collision and the operation of the roller coaster had to be interrupted.
Of the eight injured, six were treated at the scene by medical personnel and two were transferred to a hospital.
Minor accidents are relatively common on the Brewfest roller coaster and are usually due to reckless behavior by people who have consumed excessive alcohol.
On this occasion, however, everything indicates that the accident was due to a technical problem that led to the train crash.
The accident occurred at 10:10 p.m. on Saturday, a few hours after the Beer Festival opened.
The Beer Festival, or Oktoberfest, or October Festival, as it is called despite being celebrated in September, offers, in parallel to the tents where the traditional one-liter vases and various typical foods are consumed, various attractions.EFE
