A seven-year-old girl is fighting for her life after a car hit her lemonade stand, shattering both legs and causing possible brain injuries.
Annabelle Masten was airlifted to Mission Hospital in Asheville, North Carolina on Tuesday, June 10, after a devastating crash in North Carolina that critically injured her and two other girls.
According to state troopers, a car accident sent a vehicle careening off Conley Road and into the front yard where the children were selling lemonade.
The car slammed into the stand with terrifying force, leaving all three girls seriously hurt.
Annabelle’s family says her injuries are severe – one leg was completely shattered and the other has a crushed ankle.
Doctors rushed her into emergency surgery, where multiple pins and screws were inserted.
More operations are expected in the coming days.
She is also being closely monitored for a brain hematoma and possible spinal damage.

Her full prognosis remains uncertain.
‘Please keep Annabelle, her family, and all the others involved in your prayers,’ her uncle Michael Masten wrote on a GoFundMe page set up to help with mounting medical bills.
The GoFundMe has already raised more than $5,000 in two days.
The driver accused of causing the crash, 24-year-old Haley McCorkle of Hickory, has been charged with failure to yield the right of way resulting in serious bodily injury.

Troopers say she pulled into traffic, causing another vehicle to swerve off the road and strike the children.
Despite the horror, the families are staying strong.
‘I can’t blame anyone for the accident. Accidents happen,’ said the mother of one of the girls to Fox 8. ‘I’ve just had to pray about it.’
The little girl’s aunt Michelle Masten wrote online: ‘Needing special prayers for my little niece. My brother, and his family. I have faith in the doctors in Asheville. May God guide them through this. I love you!’
