Girl Remains In Hospital After Freak Bike Accident

DENTON COUNTY (CBS 11 News) ― A six-year-old girl from Argyle was seriously injured when authorities say she fell off her bike and onto a stationary trailer carrying rebar.

Alexa Eason's father, Fred Eason, said Tuesday she's in critical but stable condition at Children's Medical Center Dallas.

She was rushed to the hospital Monday after neighbors say rebar sticking out of the trailer punctured the top of the girl's skull.

Alexa's father said his neighbor was the first person to tend to his daughter. He told Fred he tickled Alexa's feet, and she responded. Some people are taking that as a good sign.

The girl's two siblings and others were also playing in the area when it happened.

Two of the neighborhood children spoke with CBS 11 about the accident. Click here to see the story.

The medics who treated the six-year-old have children her age. Officials say they had to seek counseling after they treated her.
