A two-year-old girl was seriously injured after falling from a hotel window in Blackpool.

Lancashire Police said she was “suffering from a number of fractures and is in a serious condition”.

It happened at the Manor Royd hotel in Albert Road, the force said.

“Enquiries are underway,” a spokeswoman said.
