A woman has been critically injured in a ride incident at the Melbourne Royal Show on Sunday afternoon.

Ambulance Victoria treated the woman on scene for head injuries before transferring the 20-year-old to hospital.

Vision from the scene also shows staff carrying out works on a rollercoaster that appears to have stopped.

A number of riders are seen in a carriage.

The Melbourne Royal Show issued a statement late Sunday confirming the woman was injured on the Rebel Coaster ride.

“We are working closely with the ride operator, WorkSafe Victoria and Victoria Police to investigate the issue further; however, we can confirm that no one has fallen from the ride.”

A spokersperson said the ride in question will be closed for the foreseeable future.
