Girl Scalped From Eyebrows Back

(Niagara Falls) A 12-year-old Ohio girl was scalped at a go-kart track.

From TheStar.com:

Emergency crews found the girl "with extensive injuries to her head" at Niagara Go-Karts and Mini Putt at about 5:20 p.m., Niagara Regional Police Sgt. Jim Moody said.

"She was enjoying some of the go-kart rides (when) her long hair became entangled in the axle mechanism of the go-kart," Moody said. "It's been reported that she has had her scalp removed from her skull, from the eyebrow area, right back."

The girl was airlifted to a Rochester hospital where she's in critical condition. Her name wasn't released.

Now, we need to know if there were signs at the go-kart track warning people of the hazards of long hair and loose fitting clothing. If not, the track owners may be negligent. Incidents of this nature are preventable.
