A fifteen year old boy has sustained a bad break to his right leg and left arm after a wall fell on top of him.
According to ER24 paramedics on the scene, the boys family was enjoying a Sunday family get together, and the boy was playing in the garden with the other children. He then ran up one of the embankments and jumped up onto a wall, hanging down from it by his hands. The wall then gave way and a few of the bigger boulders fell on top of him breaking his leg and arm.
Bystanders removed the boulders from his body and made him as comfortable as possible before paramedics arrived. The family was clearly shaken by the incident, and the teen was in severe pain.
The ER24 Advanced Life Support paramedic gave the boy some pain medication, they splinted his broken limbs, and transported him in a stable condition to hospital. Fortunately none of the other children were injured.
