Horse fall girl rushed to hospital

A SIX-YEAR-OLD girl was rushed to hospital after falling from a 16 hand horse at a property in Berwick.
Advanced life support paramedics were called to the corner of Grices and Pound roads just after 9am on Monday 11 January.
Paramedic Lisa McColl said the girl’s condition worsened “dramatically” on the way to hospital.
Intensive care paramedics were then called to meet the crew at the South Gippsland-Monash Freeway merge as the girl had lost consciousness and required a breathing tube. “Due to the girl’s age and our proximity to Dandenong Hospital we went to the emergency department there for the procedure to be done,” she said. The girl was then taken to the Royal Children’s Hospital.
