A teenage student was injured Thursday when he fell 15 feet after crashing through a window at his high school.
The Adams City High School junior, who was not identified, was taken by ambulance to Denver Health Medical Center, where he was treated for a knee injury, cuts and bruises.
“The boy will be OK,” said Joan Hill, a spokeswoman for Adams County School District 14. “He sustained a serious knee injury, he probably landed on it, and he needed some stitches in his arms.”
The accident happened about 11:35 a.m., Hill said.
The injured boy and a schoolmate were horsing around, “running down the hall to see if they could bounce off a window; one did and one didn’t,” Hill said.
The school, at 4625 E. 68th Ave. in Commerce City, was put under lockdown after the accident as investigators sorted out what happened.
Letters explaining the fall were sent home Thursday with the school’s 1,500 students, Hill said.
