This is all I could find:

(August 11, 2009) - At Blackpool Pleasure Beach in Blackpool, England, two roller coaster trains collided on the Big Dipper roller coaster, leaving 21 people with injuries including whiplash, broken bones and back injuries. Witnesses said that one of the trains stalled on the track and the other train, which was moving at some speed, crashed into it. The collision left both trains stopped on the track; one was left about 20 feet off the ground and the other came to rest close to the ground.
A special rope rescue team evacuated the riders using stretchers and spinal boards. Ambulances transported riders to hospitals for treatment. Most were released after they received treatment for relatively minor injuries. At least one of the victims was scheduled to undergo facial surgery.

Thirty-two people were aboard the ride at the time of the accident.

The Big Dipper, a wooden roller coaster, opened in 1923. The ride has been shut down pending an investigation by the Health and Safety Executive.
