At the time, the girl was playing in the hayfield the combine was harvesting and due to the hay being approximately three feet high, the operator of the combine did not see her.

The girl was originally transported by ambulance to a local medical clinic before being taken by LifeFlight to the IWK Hospital in Halifax.

RCMP are still investigating.
