A prank gone wrong got this schoolgirl’s finger amputated!





A 14-year-old schoolgirl had her finger amputated after a playground prank went terribly wrong. Lola Bennett almost had her digit torn off when her ring got caught on a spiked fence as she tried to retrieve her school bag. Her bag had been placed there as a joke, but her hand slipped as she climbed to get it back - leaving the teenager in agony. She used a tree stump to reach the strap of her bag but her friendship ring got snagged on the fence and tore her finger apart as pals tried to yank off her shoe. Her horrified friends raised the alarm and ambulance crews dashed to the memorial garden in Kingsbury School, Tamworth. She was rushed to Birmingham Children's Hospital but surgeons were unable to save her middle finger on her left hand which was broken and had severe nerve damage.



Brave Lola underwent a three-hour operation to have the digit amputated just below her knuckle. Despite her horror injury, Lola was back in lessons on Monday and says she doesn't blame her friends for the accident.
