The air ambulance has just landed in the new car park at St. Caths & the emergency staff have rushed to the houses opposite.
anybody got a clue ?

Just heard that a marble fireplace has fallen on a small child, don't quote me on it though!!

OMG it must be serious for the air ambulance to be called , i live very near there , never heard it.

I can confirm that a fire marble place has fell on a 3yr old kids head, (he is nearly 4) hope the poor kid make's it. ;(

OMG that's horrendous, I hope the poor little mite survives

I heard the helicopter, I just thought it was the police chopper doing a low level search for something (nothing new round here).

Tragic, poor kid, hope he recovers.

O.M gosh, that poor kid... That's terrible.

I hope and pray the little one gets well

Sadly i don't think it is good news but i dont want to say anymore on the matter as family are neighbours and will wait for confirmation from other sources. ;(

Such a tragic accident to happen.
