Trampoline accident, 1-child injured

September 29, 2008

This news out of Smithville from our partner station WMSR. At about 7:45 Friday evening, an eight-year-old girl and a friend were having fun on the backyard trampoline at a Smithville home. The eight-year-old fell from the trampoline landing on her head and neck. According to eyewitnesses, the friend then fell onto the girl. Emergency Management officials were called to the scene and they contacted the AirEvac Helicopter. The little girl was airlifted to Vanderbilt University Medical Center with severe pain in her neck and head. Remarkably, she was diagnosed with a broken collarbone, two broken ribs, and a broken nose. She returned home later that night.

The other child was not hurt.
