Girl strangled by scarf on fairground ride

An eight-year-old girl was still in a coma on Monday morning after a ride on a fairground carrousel in a Paris park ended in disaster.

The accident happened on Saturday afternoon in the Jardin d'Acclimatation, which sits in the western Bois de Paris' western 16th arrondissement.

At around 3.30pm the girl got on one of the rides, which features small cars and motorbikes. After a few minutes on the ride the girl's scarf got caught in the motor of the ride, strangling her.

The girl was able to receive emergency medical attention from a doctor and fireman, who happened to be visiting the park at the same time, reported BFM TV on Sunday. She was taken to the Kremlin-Bicêtre hospital south of Paris.
