At least 34 people were injured following a crash between two rollercoaster trains at the Legoland Park in Gunzburg in southern Germany on Thursday.

According to the German news agency dpa, one rollercoaster train braked heavily and another train collided with it. Details of how the incident occurred are, however, not clear.

Fire and rescue services have been deployed to the scene with three helicopters also sent to assist with the rescue operation.

This is the second incident in several days involving rollercoasters in the European nation.

Last week, a 57-year-old woman fell out of a moving rollercoaster and died of her injuries in an amusement park in Klotten in southwest Germany.
