A young girl suffered severe burns to her feet after she stepped on a red hot barbecue buried beneath the sand. Victim Simi Adenaike may need surgery after the incident which happened as she enjoyed a day out with her family.
Simi, aged seven, had been playing when she stepped on a patch of sand covering a buried disposable barbecue on Swansea Bay beach, South Wales. Her mum described how her daughter let out a "horrifying scream," and was in so much pain she could not even explain what had happened to her at first.
Once her family saw her feet and realised what had happened she was immediately taken to hospital for treatment. Simi, of Mount Pleasant, Swansea, may now need skin-graft surgery to repair the damage to her feet, reports WalesOnline.
