Five injured at Disneyland Paris

Five people were injured yesterday when a piece of scenery fell onto one of the train cars on the Thunder Mountain ride in Disneyland Paris. Of the five riders, one sustained serious injuries. The incident prompted Disneyland Paris to close the ride on Monday.

Deputy prefect for the region Thierry Bonnet was quoted as saying, "A piece of scenery made from fibreglass and wood broke off and fell onto one of the carriages. There were 25 people on board."

A spokesman for the Disneyland Paris Resort could not be reached.
