Vic teen critical after fall
07:27 AEST Fri Oct 22 2004
A teenager remains in a critical condition in hospital after falling down a 7m hole at a disused power station in inner-city Melbourne.
The 13-year-old suffered extensive head injuries when she fell onto a concrete floor in the former City of Melbourne power station at the corner of Little Bourke Street and Cleve Lane.
Police said a 15-year-old girl alerted a security guard, who had previously ordered the pair to leave the building.
He called emergency services about 8.45pm (AEST) and police, fire and ambulance officers rushed to the scene.
Metropolitan Ambulance Service spokesman James Howe said hazardous conditions in the old power station had made the rescue operation difficult.
Rescue crews had to don protective clothing before entering the building because it was believed to contain asbestos, he said.
The teenager was taken to the Royal Melbourne Hospital where she remains in a critical condition.
