The owners of a theme park where ten people were injured in a roller coaster crash received a £1.4m insurance payout due to the site having to close.

Carriages fell from the rails of the Tsunami ride in June last year at M&D's theme park, injuring eight children and two adults.

Five gondolas fell around 30ft and collided with a children's ride at the park in Motherwell, North Lanarkshire, trapping some of the victims.

M&D Leisure ltd's annual accounts revealed £1,425,585 was paid out as the result of a business interruption insurance policy which covered staff costs while the park was closed.

Trading conditions were "difficult" as a result of the economic situation throughout the country, the accounts said.

They said: "The results of the year are also affected by the accident occurring in connection with the company's Tsunami ride in July last year which resulted in the temporary closure of the Park whilst investigations were conducted.

"Turnover for the year fell to £7,840,537 - this includes income received under the company's business interruption insurance policy of £1,425,585."

Profits fell to £3,498,435, compared to £4,352,965 the previous year.

M&D's partially reopened four days after the crash but the roller coasters remained shut for several weeks.

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) conducted an investigation into the crash and handed its report to the Crown Office in September.

A safety inspector was also banned by the HSE as part of its investigation.

Prosecutors say their own probe is ongoing.

A spokesman for the Crown Office said: "The procurator fiscal has received a report in relation to an incident in Motherwell on June 26, 2016.

"The investigation, under the direction of the Crown's Health and Safety Division, is ongoing."
