Avezzano, a 12-year-old girl dies crushed by the beam of a swing
Tragedy in Avezzano, in the province of L’Aquila, where a 12-year-old girl died crushed by the beam of a swing.
The tragedy, which took place on the afternoon of Wednesday 31 September in an oratory of the city, was caused, according to the first reconstructions, by the collapse of the beam to which the structure was linked.
According to what is learned, in fact, the swing was fixed to a beam resting on two trees. The beam would move, crushing the little girl who was now on the swing. Immediate intervention by the 118 doctors, who transported the 12-year-old by helicopter to the emergency room in Avezzano. The child, then, given the severity of the injuries, was transferred to the “San Salvatore” hospital in L’Aquila, but unfortunately there was nothing for her to do.
“The girl was still alive, but her condition immediately appeared desperate and she was immediately intubated,” said a local doctor who provided first aid.
“I just learned of the tragic news that hit the community of San Pelino, in Avezzano – ha written the governor of Abruzzo Marco Marsilio on social media – Tragically dying at the age of twelve is difficult to explain and accept. In my personal name and in the name of the entire regional council, I am close to the child’s family in this tragic moment ”.
