Cranston girl injured from fall in New Hampshire

RUMNEY, N.H. -- An 11-year-old girl is in the hospital after falling while rock climbing in New Hampshire's White Mountains with a Rhode Island group.

Officials say Hannah Megard, of Cranston, suffered head and possible back injuries yesterday when she fell more than 40 feet from a cliff at the Rumney Rocks.

Rescuers passed her stretcher over steep boulders through rugged terrain to get her to the hospital.

She was among ten children, ages 11 to 13, who are part of a weeklong rock-climbing camp operated by the Rhode Island Rock Gym of Lincoln.
