A tragic incident occurred at a sports oval in Old Bar, where a two-year-old child died after a piece of equipment fell onto him. The child's father attempted CPR, but the child passed away shortly after. The town of Winthrop is grappling with the aftermath, as officials discuss the lack of ambulance availability, leading to the fire chief transporting a 2-year-old girl to the hospital in his SUV. This has prompted calls for improved mutual aid and an investigation by the state into the unavailability of ambulances for a child in cardiac arrest.
