The snow was partially covering the metal rod that inflicted the harm. It was just typical day in Jarrettsville MD that early Monday morning when Hartford County EMS responded to a call on the 3600 block of Anderson Lane, where this all took place.

A spokesman for Hartford County and EMS, Rich Gardner, said the small girl was taken to a trauma unit that afternoon. He was really please with the quick response to the accident. He also mentioned that "all adults should should clear all areas when children are sledding." 

A single rod of rebar was sticking out of the ground reports say. It actually took fire fighters 20 minutes to cut though the metal before taking her to the hospital. She is said to be in serious condition.
