On the third floor, the 2.5-year-old girl who suffered serious injuries when her father, reversing with his 4X4 farm car, hit her is hospitalized in the PAGNI Children’s Intensive Care Unit.

According to new information, the little girl is under sedation with her breathing supported mechanically while her two parents are not far from the University Hospital of Heraklion, her mother in particular is in the fifth month of her pregnancy.

“The child is in an extremely serious clinical condition while receiving large doses of medication and with increased intracranial pressure,” the Director of PAGNI, Mr. Giorgos Chalkiadakis, told Cretalive.

Doctors, nursing and administrative staff are doing their best in order to manage to do the best possible for the 2.5-year-old girl, while her parents are constantly informed about her health progress.

A tragic figure in the case that has shocked the whole of Greece is the father who without realizing it hit his only child. He, as reported by ERT, is still not able to testify. The first words he allegedly said to the officers were: “I backed up the car to get out of the yard. I did not realize that the child was outside at the time. I did not see it”. At the same time, a breathalyzer test was carried out, as expected, in which it was negative.
