Tragedy struck at the Elliot Industrial Estate in Arbroath, Scotland, where a nine-year-old girl was found seriously injured. The incident occurred on Sunday, August 2, at approximately 23:53.
A local resident who passed by the scene described a makeshift camp on the edge of an oil firm's car park, where the girl was found. The witness reported seeing an electric car parked in the middle of the camp, and a two-man, pop-up tent that seemed out of place.
The witness also observed the parents cooking food on an outdoor camping stove, which seemed unusual given the proximity to a nearby beach. The camp appeared to be a makeshift arrangement, with the witness describing it as "pretty strange."
Floral tributes have been left at the scene, paying respects to the young girl and her family. A local business posted a statement on social media, offering condolences and thoughts to the family and those affected by the incident.
The Scottish Ambulance Service responded to the incident, dispatching four ambulance response vehicles to the scene. Four patients were transported to Ninewells Hospital, although the condition of each patient is not disclosed.
The incident has sent shockwaves through the community, with many expressing their sympathies to the family and those involved. The investigation into the incident is ongoing, and further details are expected to be released in due course.
