The girl, whose identity has not been revealed, was playing at the school during break time. She somehow fell down on a sharpened object in such a way that it directly struck the left side of her neck. An ambulance was called in immediately and she was rushed to The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, Ontario, with the pencil still in its place. The pencil was sticking out from the side of her neck. The CT scan revealed it had pierced into her left common carotid artery which stopped the blood going to her brain.
