Girl, 7, crushed by sliding gate in Phatthalung
A seven-year-old Phatthalung girl is in hospital with severe injuries after being crushed beneath the sliding gate at the Provincial Administrative Organisation offices on Tuesday night.
The girl was rescued by people celebrating the annual Buddha image procession event nearby.
Doctors say the girl’s injuries are not life-threatening.
Police said the girl went to the festival to sell balloons with her grandfather. When it began raining, they sought shelter at the Phatthalung PAO compound, but while opening the gate it slipped off its rails and tumbled onto the child.
