A two-year-old Spanish girl has died and three other children left injured after bouncing into an electrified fence while on a local fairground trampoline.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The young children are believed to have accidentally touched or brushed against a metal mesh fence that surrounded the trampoline and had an unearthed electric current running through it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Paramedics in the small village of Alquer\u00edas, near the city of Murcia in southern Spain<\/a>, were called to the scene in the early hours of Sunday morning following reports of several injuries.<\/p>\n

Despite desperate attempts to resuscitate the two-year-old for up to an hour,\u00a0she was tragically declared dead following the fatal electric shock.<\/p>\n

Following the devastating incident, local witnesses said that the girl, who is unnamed, had been found unconscious and bleeding from her nose.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, an eight-year-old girl and two boys aged 11 and 12, also suffered electric shocks, but are said to be recovering.<\/p>\n

One 29-year-old woman was also treated for an anxiety attack after witnessing the incident.<\/p>\n

Spain’s Civil Guard police sealed off the fairground and said they have now opened an investigation into negligence and involuntary manslaughter.<\/p>\n

Paramedics were called to the scene (pictured) in the early hours of Sunday morning. However, despite desperate attempts to resuscitate the two-year-old for up to an hour, she was tragically declared dead following the fatal electric shock<\/p>\n

The ongoing investigation will seek to determine whether the attraction was safely\u00a0 connected to the electrical network.<\/p>\n

Following the tragic incident, Murcia City Council declared three days of official mourning and have also suspended all planned festival events.<\/p>\n

In 2022, eight-year-old Cayetana, and\u00a0 Vera, aged four, both died after a bouncy castle was blown into the air at a local fairground in the Spanish\u00a0 Mislata, located just outside of Valencia.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Emergency services were called to the fairground on the evening of January 4 after witnesses reported watching the inflatable structure become airborne, throwing several children to the ground.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Vera had been playing on the inflatable at the fairground near Valencia when it was lifted several feet into the air.<\/p>\n

Cayetana, was also on the inflatable when it was lifted, before she landed on her head when it hit the ground.<\/p>\n

She died 12 hours later after she was rushed to La Fe Hospital in Valencia.<\/p>\n

It was reported at the time that another girl, aged four, was also seriously injured and had been taken to hospital.<\/p>\n

Seven other youngsters were hurt and required hospital treatment although their injuries were mostly described as non-serious.\u00a0<\/p>\n
