Quarry safety warning to children

Amber Worth was struck on the head by a large rock

Children have been breaking through security fencing to play in a South Yorkshire quarry where a teenage girl was killed.

Police have appealed to youngsters to stay away from the brickworks site in Clayburn Road, Grimethorpe.

Thirteen-year-old Amber Worth was struck on the head by a large rock when she fell into the quarry last April.

The site owners have put up security fencing and CCTV but police said children were still getting in.

Police said patrols had been stepped up in the area and officers would be visiting schools to warn pupils of the dangers.

A police spokesman said: "Parents are urged to remind their children of the tragic incident that occurred last year when Amber Worth died at the site and remind their children of the dangers involved when playing in the area."
