LOS ANGELES (AFP) - At least 14 people were rushed to hospital Friday after two trains on a rollercoaster at California's Disneyland theme park collided, a government official with the city of Anaheim said.

But none of the injured were in serious condition following the crash in which one car rear-ended another on "California Screamin'" ride at Disney's California Adventure park, said city spokesman John Nicoletti. Some 48 people were on the trains at the park, which is part of the Disneyland complex in Orange County, southeast of Los Angeles, Nicoletti told a press conference.

Most of the injured complained of neck and back pain and some were being sent to local hospitals. "At this point we don't have a cause .. and we have investigators on the scene," Nicoletti said. Some 18 ambulances and around 100 firefighters rushed to the park as a precuation.
