Toddler ‘lucky to be alive’ after rock thrown at camper van

A FAMILY holiday almost turned to tragedy after a toddler was hit on the head by a rock thrown at his camper van.

Two-and-a-half-year-old Marcel Burke from France suffered a gaping wound to his forehead, lost a considerable amount of blood and was lucky to survive the terrifying incident on Cork’s South Link Road.

The toddler was recovering at the home of relatives in Glanmire last night.
