A woman was taken to hospital after getting her leg stuck in a stormwater drain while delivering the free weekly newspaper yesterday.
The woman, a teacher at Carenne Public School, was with a group of students delivering the Western Times.
As she put her foot down where the cement drain meets the grass on the corner of Rankin and Browning streets, her leg disappeared into the drain.
Carenne principal Neil Moon said the children went back to the school to let someone know what had happened.
Commentary
According to "hatho" Angela Cranston, the School Learning Support Officer stayed with the injured teacher while students walked back to the school unsupervised in a serious breach of child protection guidelines. Hatho claims despite it being school policy to take a school phone with them when leaving the school with students, neither Ellen Sutton (the injured teacher) or Angela Cranston took one.
