A Christmas Tragedy

A six-year-old girl was in a critical state in an Intensive care unit in Castellon’s General Hospital last night after she fell five stories into the street in the Vall d’Uixo. She had been left alone at home as her mother was taking her brothers to school. It would seem that she fell out of the window as she was trying to reach a Father Christmas doll that had been placed on the outside wall.
