Four guests were hospitalized after a tree fell near the entrance of Six Flags Over Georgia during severe weather on Sunday.

The incident occurred as strong storms moved through the Austell, Georgia, area, Six Flags Over Georgia told Fox News Digital.

“During severe weather that was impacting the park, medical staff and local EMS responded to four guests who were struck by a fallen tree near the park’s entrance,” Six Flags said in a statement shared with Fox News Digital.

“The guests were transported to a local hospital for further evaluation,” the venue also said. 

The National Weather Service had issued a severe thunderstorm warning for the area Sunday evening as storms moved across metro Atlanta, reports noted.

Park officials have not released the identities of the four guests or provided updates on their conditions.

A video shared on Facebook appeared to show the aftermath of the incident, with fire trucks, ambulances and other emergency vehicles lining the entrance to the park as first responders worked near several downed trees and large branches.

The person who posted the video described what had begun as “a relaxing day at Six Flags” before a sudden storm swept through the area, adding that the tree fell near the exit walkway as guests were leaving the park.

“Prayers for the people that were hurt,” the user wrote.

Posts shared on Reddit appeared to show a large tree that had fallen across part of the park, with users claiming it also came to rest on the track of the Mindbender roller coaster.

“It didn’t look like the track was bent. But it was a thick tree, so I couldn’t tell if anything was broken,” one user wrote.

Six Flags has not confirmed whether any attractions were damaged or whether park operations were affected.
