A GIRL aged four plunged down a 10ft drain in a pub’s beer garden.
Jorgiee Evans — who was playing as her family relaxed nearby — stepped on a manhole cover that gave way.

Amazingly she saved herself by grabbing a ladder inside the shaft.
But terrified Jorgiee was trapped and hidden from view.
She was pulled out by her mum Gemma, 31, after a boy alerted her at the Brewers Lodge in Blackwood, South Wales, on Friday.
Gemma, who also has daughters Charleigh, 13, and Lacey, nine, said: “She was about an arm’s length deep into the drain.
“Part of the plastic covering had closed over her. She has cuts and bruises but is lucky.”
A pub spokesman said water workers “left the drain slightly unsecured without our knowledge” after clearing a blockage in March.
It then appeared some kids had dislodged the lid.
Welsh Water said it had secured the cover and it was “not clear what caused it to become loose.”
It has now been fully replaced.
