Baltimore Ravens cheerleader stretchered off the field after being dropped on her NECK by teammates during a stunt

This is the shocking moment a Baltimore Ravens cheerleader was stretchered off the field after apparently landing on her neck during a stunt.

The teenager, who has not been named, was reportedly thrown into the air during a routine at the Ravens' game against Tennessee Titans at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore on Sunday.

However, as she headed toward the ground, she was dropped by her teammates and landed on her head and neck, witnesses said. 

Emergency: The woman reportedly did not move for several minutes as medics attended to her on the field. Although she lay very still, she could be seen hyperventilating and crying, photographer Rob Carr said

She then reportedly did not move for several minutes as medical personnel rushed on to the field and attended to her, according to CBS Sports. 

Photographer Rob Carr, who was taking photos of the game for Getty Images, said that although the girl lay very still, she could be seen hyperventilating and crying.

After stablizing the cheerleader, medics transported her off the field on a stretcher as sombre-looking football fans stood up and applauded.

Minutes after the incident, witnesses took to Twitter to express concern for the young woman, who was later taken to a nearby hospital for 'precautionary' tests on her neck.

Connor Sauer added: 'Serious thoughts and prayers out to the Ravens cheerleader who was seriously injured after being dropped on her neck during one of the stunts.'

According to online reports, the game recommenced following the girl's fall. Shocked fan Eliza Graham tweeted: 'Cheerleader bounces off her head, medics on scene, but game goes on!'

On Sunday evening, a Ravens spokesman told the Baltimore Sun that the 'precautionary' tests on the cheerleader's neck had come back clear.
