Brianne Griffith, 15, was playing on a formation of boulders in the backyard of the home on Vineyard Way in White, Georgia, when one broke loose.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a natural rock formation that\u2019s been there for no telling how long,\u201d Bartow County EMS spokesman Brad Cothran said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The teen fell and the large rock landed on top of her.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cHer right ankle was trapped underneath the boulder, and it weighed approximately 1,500 pounds,\u201d Cothran said.<\/p>\n

Neighbors tried to help, but the boulder was too heavy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cIt took a lot of manpower,\u201d Cothran said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

He says paramedics, firefighters and deputies arrived, and it took at least six people plus a pulley system to lift the boulder just a couple inches.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

They freed the teen, noticed a puncture wound, and realized she may have broken her leg, ankle and pelvis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cOnce they realized what was going on, the blood loss and her blood pressure continuing to go down, they requested a medical helicopter en route to a level one trauma center,\u201d Cothran said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The helicopter took her to Grady Memorial Hospital, where she underwent surgery. She is now stable, according to doctors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
