Teenager dragged by car

18/09/2008

A TEENAGER suffered severe cuts to her face and body after she was dragged under a car on Saturday night.
Paramedics treated five people who were hit by a car in a Dandenong car park on Saturday night 13 September just before 6pm.
Advanced life support paramedics from Dandenong and Heatherton were called to the McCrae Street car park.
Advanced life support paramedic Sally Raisbeck said they arrived within five minutes.
“It was quite chaotic, with five people injured,” she said.
“A 16-year-old girl was dragged about eight metres under the car and suffered severe cuts to her face and body.
“Paramedics fitted a neck brace to the teenager given the potential for spinal injuries in the accident.”
Ms Raisbeck said the girl was given oxygen and taken to the The Alfred hospital in a serious condition.
