An 11-year old girl has died after falling from a rapids ride at Drayton Manor.

Evha Jannath was riding the Splash Canyon attraction during a school trip to the English amusement park near Tamworth, Staffordshire.

Drayton Manor was closed today as a mark or respect to the family, as was the girl’s school in Leicester. A Health and Safety Executive investigation has begun.
