In Guajará-Mirim, Brazil, an 11-year-old girl suffered serious injuries after being hit by a boat propeller during a recreational outing. The incident occurred on Sunday afternoon and prompted immediate action from local firefighters, who provided first aid before the girl was taken to a hospital. Eye-witnesses, including beachgoers, helped assist the victim prior to the arrival of emergency services.

The girl's injuries were severe, particularly to her face, resulting in significant blood loss. Due to the critical nature of her condition, arrangements were made for an airlift to João Paulo II Hospital in Porto Velho. The transfer was complicated by heavy rain, making the flight more perilous, but the urgent nature of the medical situation necessitated a swift response from the authorities.

Upon arrival at the hospital, the girl underwent surgery and required a blood transfusion due to her extensive injuries. Family members have reported that her health is currently stable, although she remains under medical care. Investigations into the causes of the tragic accident are still pending as the community comes to terms with the incident at the popular tourist destination.
