A 4-year-old Colorado Springs girl is in the hospital after suffering major burns in a freak accident.

Police were called to a home on E. Brookside Tuesday evening. They say once they arrived they learned a 9-year-old boy, the victim's cousin, was playing with a lighter and a can of hairspray. Another child threw a bottle of rubbing alcohol at the 9-year-old who had an open flame on the lighter. The alcohol splattered on the legs of the little girl, and spread to her arms.

The girl was rushed to Memorial Hospital with 2nd degree burns on both legs, and her right arm. She was later transferred to Denver Children's Hospital for treatment. She's in stable condition Wednesday and her family tells 11 News she should recover.

Police say there were several adults in the area, but the 9-year-old boy admitted he kept the lighter hidden whenever an adult was nearby.

According to police, they don't suspect neglect, but the Department of Human Services has been notified.
