SALINA — A 5-year-old Falun girl is in a Kansas City hospital after a dresser fell on her Monday evening.

Saline County Sheriff Glen Kochanowski said the girl and her siblings were playing in an upstairs bedroom of the family home around 7:45 p.m., when the girl got her foot caught in the dresser, and it fell over on top of her.

The siblings took the dresser off of her, and emergency responders were called to the home in the 200 block of Main in Falun, which is an unincorporated community in southwest Saline County.

Kochanowski said the girl was taken by EMS to Salina Regional Health Center, then transferred to Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City.

The girl suffered head injuries that included bleeding on the brain.
