BALING: A 10-year-old girl received 14 stitches on her face after she was hit by a "flying" object while she was on her way home in Kampung Terbak here from school last Tuesday.
Nuralia Shamimi Mohd Jefri, accompanied by her two schoolmates, was walking across a football field when a metal object, believed to be from a lawn mower, hit her face.
The Year Five pupil of SK Kampung Bandar Siong sustained serious injuries and suffered a broken nose.
"I was walking home from school with my two friends when I suddenly felt a sharp pain on my face.
"The next thing I knew, blood was dripping down my face and I felt like fainting.
"My friends panicked and rushed back to the school to inform the teachers."
She was rushed to Baling Hospital before being transferred to Sultan Abdul Halim (HSAH) Hospital in Sungai Petani for further treatment. Asked about the "flying object", she said she did not see it coming until it was too late.
However, she learnt from her friends that the blunt and hard object came from the direction of the school lawn mower, which was in use not far from her. Her mother, Mazlina Md Desa, 40, said she was preparing food at her stall nearby when she heard her daughter's cries for help.
"I rushed over and saw her crying in pain. I was shocked to see her face covered in blood.
"According to the doctor, her wound is 2cm deep and she fractured her skull in the accident.
"Nuralia will undergo a thorough checkup and treatment at Sultanah Bahiyah Hospital in Alor Star next month."
