Teenager hit by tree during storm suffered trauma and underwent foot reconstruction, says cousin

The information was passed on by the young woman's cousin, Carolina Bianca. According to Bianca, the surgical procedures were carried out successfully on Saturday (7).

As a result, doctors ruled out toe amputation. The young woman remains in post-operative monitoring until the last update of this report, according to Bianca.

According to her cousin, the teenager was in the park with family and friends, organizing the final details of a baby shower that will be held there. When the weather began to change and indicated the arrival of rain, the group decided to leave the space.

Near the children's play area, the wind became stronger and knocked down branches. The group tried to protect themselves, but a tree fell and hit the teenager.

The cousin also says that soon after, other trees began to fall. "My husband and I tried to find a way to get out of that place. We tried to go back, a tree fell, we tried to move forward, another fell", she said.

"We didn't know where to go or what to do. What I remember is that there were at least three trees falling," he added.

She, her husband and friends who were at the scene managed to remove the young woman from under the tree and take her to the emergency room.

After being stabilized, she was transferred by the municipality's mobile Intensive Care Unit (ICU) team to the Sumaré State Hospital due to the severity of her injuries.
