Five-year-old P.E.I. girl injured when wind gusts carry trampoline 40 metres
HUNTER RIVER , P.E.I. — A five-year-old Prince Edward Island girl is in hospital after a trampoline she was playing on was carried about 40 metres by wind gusts and landed on top of her.
Ella Hurry was jumping on a trampoline Sunday in Wheatley River, P.E.I., when high winds carried the trampoline across the yard, tearing the clothesline off a pole and landing on her.
“She just went outside to play,” her grandmother Stella McNeill said Monday. “She was only out a couple minutes when they heard a loud bang.”
Ella’s father ran out and lifted the trampoline off her, but she was unconscious, McNeill said.
