A palm tree that was in the restaurant area was cut down, under circumstances that are being investigated, and fell on the 68-year-old woman.
Members of the Famagusta Fire Service and the Paralimni Police Station went to the place where they helped free the 68-year-old woman.
The 68-year-old woman was transported by ambulance to Famagusta General Hospital in Paralimni where it was found that she has a fractured femur, broken ribs and a fractured 5th vertebra. The 68-year-old is expected to be admitted to surgery, while her condition does not inspire danger to her life.
