SALINA, Kan. — An 11-year-old Salina girl was in critical condition in intensive care at Via Christi Hospital on St. Francis Thursday afternoon after she received an electrical shock while playing in the rain on Campbell Plaza Wednesday evening.
Lt. Scott Siemsen of the Salina Police Department said the girl was found lying on two in-ground electrical junction boxes at the front of the plaza in the 100 block of South Santa Fe Avenue when emergency responders arrived after receiving the call at 6:46 p.m.
A firefighter and other children who had been playing with her were treated at Salina Regional Health Center for less serious electrical shock injuries suffered when they tried to assist her, said Fire Marshal Roger Williams.
