[01] Boy killed, sister injured in freak play-area accident
A 13-year-old boy was killed and his nine-year-old sister critically
injured on Sunday afternoon, while playing in a swimming pool at an
organised children's park in Athens' coastal Elliniko district.
According to witness accounts, the two children were playing in an
inflatable ball in a swimming pool within the grounds when a sudden
squall picked up the ball with both children still inside and dashed it
against other objects in the park.
Efforts by the parents and others on the scene to revive the two children
were in vain and both were rushed to Aghia Sofia children's hospital in
central Athens by ambulance.
According to the hospital, the boy was dead on arrival and the younger
girl was immediately hooked up to life support in an ICU unit.
Police have arrested the owner of the park and the two managers in charge,
holding them for questioning at the Elliniko police station.
