FREEPORT (AP) – A 3-year-old girl who fell from a float during a Christmas parade was in serious but stable condition Saturday after undergoing surgery following the accident.

Police said the float was carrying a group of about 20 children from a day care center in Pownal as part of Freeport’s Sparkle Week Parade on Friday night. The girl’s father was walking next to the float, and she apparently lunged at him in excitement when she fell.

The rear wheels of the trailer’s dual axle ran over the child after her fall, police said.

She was taken to Maine Medical Center in Portland with a broken pelvis and serious internal injuries. Police were not releasing the girl’s name Saturday afternoon.

Parade organizers are considering safety changes for the parade in the future.
