I'VE NEVER BEEN THAT TERRIFIED IN MY LIFE

Mum's Halloween ordeal after lollipop gets stuck in little girl's throat

A MUM has issued a warning to other parents after her daughter was rushed to hospital on Halloween from choking on a lollipop.

Evie Smith, five, had been trick or treating when the lolly slipped off its stick and became trapped in her throat.

The schoolgirl started screaming and crying as it slowly moved down the back of her neck and into her chest.

Evie's mum, Amie, 29, frantically tried to remove the lolly by doing back slaps but it wouldn't budge.

Paramedics were scrambled to the family home in Kirkcaldy after the mum of three dialled 999.

Recounting the horrifying experience, Amie told the Record: "It was absolutely terrifying and it all happened so quickly. The kids were apple dooking when Evie asked to eat a lollipop.
