Aussie girl falls off mattress atop a car after sitting on it to stop it blowing away

The teen remains in hospital

A girl has suffered serious head injuries after she fell from the mattress on top of a moving car in the Northern Territory.

The 13-year-old girl was lying on top of the mattress, trying to stop it from blowing away.

A police spokesman said: ‘What they’ve done was the mattress kept blowing off and they thought it would be a good idea to chuck the girl up there to keep the mattress from blowing down.’


They added: ‘The mattress blew off again with her.’ 

‘What this is, is a lack of judgment.’

The girl’s mother and a 19-year-old friend were in the car at the time. The teen remains in hospital.
