A 9-yr-old girl has been badly injured after a tree fell on top of her yesterday afternoon.

The young girl was injured when a tree landed on top of her whilst she was cycling her bike in the marina area with her family at approximately 4.30pm this afternoon.

The girl who sustained injuries to her hand and leg was rescued by three crews from the Cork City Fire Brigade.

Gardai say the girl’s injuries are not life-threatening.

People are reminded again to stay out of danger when such inclement weather is upon us.
