An incident occurred this morning at a popular port of entry attraction at PortAventura, linked to a ride nicknamed Tomahawk. Strong winds were reported to have caused branches to fall, impacting riders on the roller coaster. Park officials confirmed an accident involving fourteen visitors.
Two of the injured were reported to be in serious condition and were transported to hospital for urgent care. One was taken to Bellvitge Hospital and the other to Joan XXIII Hospital in Tarragona. To stabilize one of these patients, emergency medical services activated a helicopter evacuation. Three additional individuals sustained less serious injuries and received treatment at hospitals in Santa Tecla and Sant Joan de Reus. The remaining four suffered minor injuries, with five people discharged at the scene.
Various social profiles captured the incident at the Tomahawk attraction in PortAventura, reflecting concern from the public and park enthusiasts alike. Official statements from PortAventura indicate the facility prioritized safety and cooperation with local authorities throughout the response.
Authorities have mobilized a coordinated response, with emergency medical teams and park staff working together to assess the situation and manage patient transfers. The park leadership has reiterated their commitment to safety and to providing full cooperation to investigators and public safety agencies.
The local police and emergency services are examining the Tomahawk ride and the surrounding area as part of the investigation. A helicopter airlift was used to move one patient to a medical facility, with subsequent ambulances arriving to assist and stabilize affected guests.
In the hours following the incident, civil protection officials issued a wind-related alert for the southern region of Catalonia. Authorities reported hundreds of emergency calls during the peak period, and as conditions evolved, the alert level was adjusted and then downgraded to a pre-alert as weather improved.
