31 injured, including 10 children, a teenager and 20 adults – that is the balance of the roller coaster accident in “Legoland” on Thursday.

Nfter the serious roller coaster accident in which 31 people were injured in the Günzburg amusement park “Legoland”, the Neu-Ulm criminal police are investigating. The procedure is entered under the provisional allegation of negligent bodily harm. So far, this has not been directed against one or more specific suspects. Ten children, one teenager and 20 adults were injured in the accident. Details about the state of health were not initially known.

Police and prosecutor spokesmen said on Friday that the preparation of the accident report would probably take a few weeks or even months. Only then will there be clarity about the reason for the accident in the amusement park. On Thursday afternoon, a train from the “Feuerdrache” roller coaster hit the one in front. The authorities had closed the roller coaster after the accident.

So far it has not been clarified whether a technical defect or a mistake by the staff was the cause. Neither train derailed, nor did a passenger fall out. An investigation is the usual procedure after such accidents. The public prosecutor’s office in Memmingen got an initial overview of the amusement park on Thursday evening.

Apart from the closed roller coaster, operations in “Legoland” should continue as normal, as the company announced on Thursday. The “Land of the Knights” area, where the roller coaster is located, is still closed, a spokeswoman said.

Last Saturday there was another serious amusement park accident in Rhineland-Palatinate when a 57-year-old woman fell from a moving roller coaster and died. The police are also investigating there.
