Girl Dies In Hospital After Sledge Crash
A 16-year-old girl has died after suffering serious head injuries when she crashed her makeshift sledge in South Yorkshire.
Francesca Anobile, of Morsborough, Sheffield, was injured along with three other girls as they played in Rother Valley Country Park in Rotherham.
It is thought the sled they were using was made from a car roof.
The 16-year-old was airlifted to Sheffield's Northern General Hospital with suspected head injuries, where she died at 6pm.
Another of the victims was named by police as Nikki Burns, also 16 from Sheffield. She is being treated at the city's Royal Hallamshire Hospital.
The two other girls suffered minor injuries.
South Yorkshire Police said the crash was a "tragic sledging incident".
Three emergency ambulances, two rapid response vehicles, an air ambulance and a clinical team leader all attended the scene.
