A girl, believed to be 8-years-old, injured her leg this afternoon when it got caught beneath a merry-go-round in Keaurboom Park near Kennilworth in the Western Cape.

“ER24 paramedics, along with Fire and Rescue, arrived at the park and were ushered to the playground where the girl was stuck”, said Russel Meiring.

“On assessment, paramedics found the young patient lying next to the merry-go-round with her right leg trapped beneath”, said Meiring.

He added that.. “Rescue services had to use the jaws-of-life equipment to lift the merry-go-round off the child’s leg”.
