8/25/22 Girl Injured In Barn Accident

25 August 2022 News


A 9-year-old Town of Eden girl was seriously injured when a large hay bale fell on her while she was playing with other children in a barn Wednesday afternoon. Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s officials say it happened shortly before 3 pm at W3551 Sunny Road. Three children, all siblings, were chasing after kittens in a barn. Two of the children climbed up onto two large hay bales stacked on top of one another while the girl remained on the ground level. The hay bales tipped over trapping the girl under the hay bale. Two adults at the scene were able to get the child out from underneath the hay bale. A ThedaStar helicopter flew her to Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin-Milwaukee with serious injuries. No one else was hurt.
