North Essex: Warnings after falls from windows
A warning has gone out after three teenage girls fell from open windows.
All three attended the accident and emergency department at Colchester General Hospital within the past week with a variety of injuries.
One was transferred to Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge, with serious head injuries, a second is still in hospital and a third was treated and sent home.
Carrie Fisher, matron for emergency services at Colchester, said people need to take care when windows are open in warm weather.
