A SPOOKY train ride at Southend's Adventure Island theme park had to be closed when a worker fell off and became trapped.

The 18-year-old man was riding on the Beelzee Bob's train ride when it went round a corner and he fell out and became trapped between the working and the platform.

Theme park director Marc Miller said: "A member of staff was doing something he shouldn't have been."
