Девятилетняя девочка, пострадавшая при крушении на надувном плоту в Небраске, уже встала на ноги

OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) - The father of a 9-year-old girl hurt in a tubing crash near Cedar Creek said she is already up and walking, according to First Alert 6. The girl was life-flighted to Omaha after the crash. Her official condition has not been released. Her father did not want to speak on camera and was not comfortable sharing her picture, but told First Alert 6 he expects her to make a full recovery. Investigation into the crash Nebraska Game and Parks Commission leaders are helping investigate the crash. A preliminary investigation shows the tube the girl was riding collided with a docked boat. Greg Wagner with the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission says the commission is conducting patrols to check for required boating equipment that may be missing from boats. “One is oftentimes a throwable life preserver. It looks like a baseball base with handles on it. Sometimes there might not be a required fire extinguisher on board. It may not be a whistle or a horn device, besides our life jacket requirements,” Wagner said. Water safety group stresses supervision Blake Collingsworth is the founder of a Lincoln foundation that trains children in water safety. “We highly recommend arm’s length supervision,” Collingsworth said. Collingsworth said it’s not just about gear, but about who’s watching. “We also recommend people do the water watcher plan — have one adult designated that just watches the water, and alert if they see something that’s not quite right,” Collingsworth said. His wife, Kathy Collingsworth, also a founder of the organization, said the message is important. “Sometimes they don’t always come back, but we figure we’re saving a life if they’re wearing a life jacket,” Kathy Collingsworth said. The group runs life jacket loaner stations at three Lancaster County lakes so cost is not a barrier to a child having one. It is not known if the child involved in the crash was wearing a life jacket. ‘ Her father told First Alert 6 she is expected to make a full recovery.
