Child Injury

An 11-year-old girl in San Pedro Sula's Lomas del San Juan neighborhood suffered severe injuries, including the loss of her ear, when attacked by a pitbull on her way home from school; her mother is seeking medical support and removal of the animal from the area.

A child in San Marcos de Colón was rushed to Hospital General del Sur after a rattlesnake bit his leg while he played in his family's yard; the Hospital Escuela in Tegucigalpa has treated over 60 people for venomous snakebites so far this year across multiple departments.

A child was struck by a pickup truck while running out of a store near a school in Santa Rita, Copán; security cameras captured the collision, but the child suffered only minor injuries and shock from the incident.
