Tuesday night, Beverly Fire Department and EMS received a 911 call from a person saying that they were trapped under a gravestone.
First responders arrived on scene to find an injured 17-year-old girl trapped under a gravestone. She reported that she was playing in the cemetery and accidentally pulled the stone onto herself.
The teen sustained a leg injury serious enough for paramedics to rush her to a local hospital.
“Playing” in the cemetery? The first report said she was trying to sit on the headstone! A Cemetery is NOT a playground! She wasn’t playing… she and her friends were probably there to wreak havoc, tip headstones, and God only knows what else! At 17 years old, she should know better! My parents and my Husband, and many relatives and friends are buried in that cemetery. I hope she and her parents are held financially responsible for any and all damage to the headstones and grounds!
