A sports-mad schoolgirl has lost both her legs after being crushed by a tractor in a 'freak farm accident' just days before her 13th birthday.
Féile O’Sullivan was left fighting for her life with catastrophic injuries to her lower abdomen and both legs after getting caught beneath the machine's wheels on her family's farm in County Cork, Ireland last month.
She was airlifted to Cork University Hospital where surgeons were forced to carry out an emergency double amputation to save her life.
Her mother Maureen has kept vigil at Crumlin Children’s Hospital in Dublin, where the schoolgirl has undergone 30 surgeries and still faces another 15 before she can be discharged.
Family friend Finbarr Harrington told the Daily Mail: 'It was a freak farm accident that happened in a split second, but it has left her with life-changing challenges, life-changing injuries. It has turned her life and her mum’s life upside down.
