Here we go again...
A man was taken to hospital with a head injury and three others hurt in a second Alton Towers rollercoaster crash in less than a month.
Mirror.co.uk has learned that two carriages collided on the Sonic Spinball ride on Tuesday.
Eye-witness Danny Robinson, 24, from Liverpool, who was watching his four pals, claimed the carriage was going at "full pace" when it crashed into another carriage containing a young family at the end of the ride.
Alton Towers has refuted the claims the collision happened at "full pace" and said the carriages 'nudged each other at walking pace'.
Speaking about the incident, which happened at around 2.30pm, Danny claimed: "I was stood with the bags watching them when it happened. The carriage came round to the end at full pace and crashed into one with a young family inside.
"The mum in the other carriage was screaming. Two of my friends hit the back of their heads and another two hurt their necks. They spent about 20 minutes getting them out of the carriage.
So today iv been to Alton towers and my carriage crashed into another one on the sonic spinball ... Safe to say I won't be going again!

"All four were taken to the medical centre spent two-and-a-half hours getting checked over and heat pads on their necks. Afterwards one of them started throwing up everywhere and ended up going to hospital."
Another passenger @AmieJohno wrote on Twitter: "So today iv (sic) been to Alton towers and my carriage crashed into another one on the sonic spinball ... Safe to say I won't be going again!"
The 36-year-old man later went to hospital as a precaution after suffering a head injury. He was later released but is understood to be still off work recovering. The three women, aged 33, 30 and 22 are not believed to have needed further treatment.
An Alton Towers spokeswoman said: “Two cars in the station area nudged each other at walking pace. The guests on the two cars walked off and we advised that they attend our medical centre as a precautionary measure."
