Several riders suffered injuries after a roller coaster malfunction at Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey.
The El Toro roller coaster jolted towards the end of the ride with guests reporting back pain. Five were taken to hospital with minor injuries.
It happened just before the park was about to close at the end of the day.
Six Flags has kept the ride closed while a full safety inspection is completed.
Several riders reported injuries, with five people taken to local hospitals for evaluation, according to officials at the New Jersey park. Social media reports said riders reported a “pothole” on the track that left jaws and backs hurting.
Last year the El Toro ride was closed for weeks after a partial derailment.
