Three year old found with neck caught in rope, not breathing in backyard swing accident
A toddler has been found unconscious by her mother after becoming tangled in a backyard swing in Central Queensland.
The three-year-old girl’s mother was believed to have been tending to animals nearby on their property in Koumala, in the Mackay region, when the accident happened.
It’s believed when the mother turned back she saw her daughter’s neck caught in the rope.
The rescue crew flew the girl to hospital Thursday after the accident and it is believed CPR had been performed on the child and a pulse returned before an ambulance crew arrived on the scene.
