Student felled by moose head sues

An American student is suing her university for negligence after a mounted moose head fell on her from a wall during a biology exam.

Amy Walters was peering through a microscope when the stuffed trophy fell, hitting the side of her head.

She says she has suffered from headaches ever since, and is suing for "loss of enjoyment of life" and "embarrassment and humiliation".

She is alleging that the "defendants were careless, reckless and negligent in failing to ensure the moose head was properly affixed to the wall".

Pennsylvania State University has not yet commented on the case.
