Terrible accident on horse farm: girl with a hay fork seriously injured!

On Tuesday afternoon, June 11, 2025, a serious accident occurred at a horse farm in Munich-Lochhausen. An 11-year-old girl was seriously injured after a tink of a hay fork had drilled into her lower leg. The rescue workers were alerted at 3:20 p.m. when the emergency call received. Among the first emergency services were an emergency doctor and paramedics who immediately started the girl's medical care. The Munich fire brigade supported with an aid fire engine, while a rescue helicopter was alerted to transport the injured child to a clinic as soon as possible.

In order to free the girl from her predicament, the fire brigade were forced to separate the metal tines of the hay fork with an angle grinder. This measure was necessary to enable transport to the hospital. The girl was then flown with the helicopter into the shock room of a Munich children's clinic. However, the exact course of the accident remains unclear, and the fire brigade has so far not been able to provide any information. Several witnesses of the incident are currently being interviewed to bring light into the dark.

Frequency of equestrian accidents

Compared to the seriously injured patients who usually need surgical therapy, many of the slightly injured people are able to be treated conservatively. The average length of stay in the hospital is 13 days for surgical interventions, and the injury patterns vary greatly between slightly and seriously injured patients. The tragic event in Munich once again illustrates the risks associated with equestrian sports and is reminiscent of the need for security measures.

The current situation of the girl and the exact medical forecasts are currently not known, since the treatment is only in the initial phase. The authorities hope to receive further information on the course of the accident so that the incident can be analyzed.

For detailed information about the accident and the doctors, it is advisable to report this incident through the news platforms tz to follow and about security via German Journal Sports Medicine to inform.
