A 9-year-old Fond du Lac County girl is in the hospital after an accident while playing with friends.
Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s Sergeant Logan Will reports that they received the 9-1-1 call a little before 3 on Wednesday afternoon from a farm on Sunny Road in the Township of Eden. An investigation revealed that three children, all of whom are related to each other, were chasing kittens in a barn. Two of the children climbed onto two large hay bales stacked one on the other while the 9-year-old remained on the ground. The hay bales tipped over, trapping the girl underneath one of the bales that was estimated to weigh around a thousand pounds.
Two adults on the scene were able to get her out from under, but she required emergency treatment from first responders on the scene, and had to be flighted by ThedaStar to Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin in Milwaukee with serious injuries. None of the other children were injured, and the incident is not considered suspicious.
