Olympic swimmer Dawn Fraser takes a serious fall

Olympic swimming legend Dawn Fraser has been hospitalized after a serious fall at her Queensland home.

Her family told 9News they thought the 87-year-old was going to lose her.

She was rushed to hospital and admitted to intensive care after breaking four ribs and a hip in a fall at her Noosa home on Wednesday.

Fraser has since been released from intensive care and is on the road to recovery, her daughter told 9 News.

Swimming Australia CEO Rob Woodhouse said the family had told him Fraser was in hospital.

"Dawn is an Australian living treasure an icon of our sport and we wish her a speedy, healthy and full recovery," he said in a statement.
