Woman trapped on log flume ride

A woman is recovering after getting her leg trapped in a ride at an amusement park on the East Yorkshire coast.

Firefighters were called to Corrigan Amusements in Bridlington at 0120 BST to free the 21-year-old, who was stuck in the log flume.

Humberside Police said the woman had fallen and trapped her leg after climbing up on to the ride.

Firefighters used specialist cutting equipment to free her and she was treated for minor leg injuries.

A safety inspection of the ride, which was not thought to be damaged, was taking place on Wednesday, a police spokeswoman said.

Officers were called by the manager who reported a group of people running around inside the park at the time of the accident.

No arrests were made.
