Toddler recovering after falling 100 ft
Great.
This is really going to add to my paranoia about tall escalators and fear of heights.
A 3 year old toddler fell through a gap between the escalator and the floor, falling 100 feet, that resulted in life threatening injuries.
100 feet! That’s REALLY High!!
A girl of three seriously injured after falling 100ft from an escalator was “improving” in hospital.
The toddler is thought to have fallen over the side as it travelled up to the third floor of a Primark store in Liverpool city centre.
The youngster was described as “stable but poorly” after previously being “critical” following the fall at Primark in Liverpool.
She was initially treated at the Royal Liverpool Hospital before she was transferred to intensive care at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital.
A Merseyside Police spokeswoman said: “The girl’s condition has now been downgraded from critical to stable but poorly.
“She suffered a broken left leg and left arm which have both been recast and she also received internal injuries.”
The girl toppled backwards through the gap between the upward and downward escalators, on to the lower ground floor, at lunch time yesterday.
