Six Flags ( FUN ) stock sank as much as 16% on Tuesday following a tragic Goliath roller coaster accident at the Six Flags Over Georgia theme park on Monday.

According to Cobb County police , several people were injured, and one person died in the accident.

"We were deeply saddened by the guest incident at one of our parks yesterday," a Six Flags spokesperson told Yahoo Finance. "Our thoughts and heartfelt condolences are with the guest's family, friends, and loved ones. We are also providing support to the guests and team members affected."

Six Flags said it temporarily closed several similar rides "out of an abundance of caution," while an investigation remains underway. The following rides have been paused, the spokesperson said:
