Boy injured by falling gate is recovering

Sharjah: An eight-year-old boy is recovering after suffering head injuries when a 120kg gate fell on him earlier this month, his parents told Gulf News yesterday.

A committee from the Sharjah Educational Zone visited the pupil at the Royal Hospital where he is receiving treatment after being transferred from Al Qasimi and Al Kuwaiti hospitals, his parents said.

An official at Royal Hospital in Sharjah said yesterday the grade three student, Abdul Rahman Mohammad Nasser, had passed the danger stage and was in stable condition.

The Sharjah Education Zone formed a committee to investigate the accident.

The committee visited the school last week and found a fault in the wheel of the gate at the Sharjah public school which caused it to disconnect from the gate. The committee considered the accident negligence on the part of the school.
