A 9-year-old girl is in a serious condition after a tree fell on her and two others in a residence at Buduburam in the Central Region.

They are currently receiving treatment at St. Gregory Hospital.

The youngster suffered from the fall together with a pregnant woman and two other who were sitting under the tree and getting some air within their compound.

Apart from the 9-year-old who is currently in a critical condition, the exopectant mother and the other two victims, are reported to be in a stable condition at the same hospital.

Giving a detailed account of the situation, a co-tenant Francisca Mawuko recounted that they were all seated under the tree when it unexpectedly came crashing down. While most of the residents managed to flee, the pregnant woman and the two children were unable to escape in time.

“All of them are currently receiving treatment at St. Gregory Hospital,” Mawuko confirmed.

The Assembly Member for Gomoa Buduburam Electoral Area, Emmanuel Dogbey, revealed that due to the severity of the 9-year-old girl’s condition, arrangements are being made to transfer her to the Winneba Trauma and Specialist Hospital for further care.
