A five-year-old boy died after being struck by a bus at a theme park, police said today.
The accident took place at the Camelot theme park near Chorley, Lancs, at 6pm yesterday.
A spokesman for Lancashire Constabulary said more details were to be released later today.
A spokesman for Lancashire Regional Ambulance Service said: "We were called to the car park at Camelot after reports a child had been knocked down by a bus.
"He had sustained head injuries and appeared to be deceased at the scene."
The accident took place one week after a bus struck a group of people outside a theme park in Ingoldmells, Lincs, killing five.
It also came three days after 16-year-old Hayley Williams died when she fell from a roller coaster at the Oakwood theme park in Pembrokeshire.
