The woman, in her 50s, was queuing for a fairground ride with two children, when she plunged through the boards of Central Pier onto the beach below. LancsLive reported last month how the woman is now 'recovering' from surgery to her spine and elbow. A family friend set up a GoFundMe to raise support for the woman and her family which has so far raised £6,275.

The woman was rushed to hospital after falling through a section of Blackpool Pier onto the beach. A spokesperson for Lancashire Police told the Mirror that she remained in hospital on Wednesday morning, though the extent of her injuries remains unclear. The woman has been taken to hospital with injuries. Witnesses have told of hearing a horrific "thud" as the woman fell. I was walking the beach with my kids and heard a thud, a huge thud next to me nearly on top of my head, a lady ploughed to the floor, smashing through the Central Pier. I was absolutely terrified... I thought she was dead. Families with children were at the scene as emergency teams treated the injured woman. It is understood she had fallen through a section of the pier before hitting the beach below.

The mother who fell through a hole on Blackpool's Central Pier is facing a recovery which could take months. She is currently in hospital recovering from a surgery undertaken to aid her injuries. She's still in bed mainly. They actually managed to get her out of bed for the first time in ten days to sit out for half an hour but the pain was quite bad. Ultimately she's getting there, she was quite tearful with me when Steve visited and she's still in quite a lot of pain. Now unable to work, Steve hopes that the fundraiser will go some way to easing some of the stress they will face while she will be recovering up to four months.

A woman who fell approximately 30ft from Central Pier in Blackpool required surgery for her injuries, according to a friend. She is currently in hospital having surgery for spinal injuries and broken elbow. The woman received initial treatment for her injuries before being extricated and taken to the hospital. The loss of their father has been devastating, it seems so much for one family, they were on a fun day out in Blackpool, just queuing, they have had the worst of times. Our thoughts remain with the person involved, and we wish her a speedy recovery.
