HINCKLEY, Ohio - A 17-year-old boy was taken to MetroHealth Medical Center after he fell in the Hinckley Reservation on Wednesday.

The teen from North Royalton was walking in the park with his family when he slipped at about 1:30 p.m., according to the Metroparks.

Hinckley Fire Chief Tim Potts said the boy fell about 20 feet. It was almost the same location where another kid fell on Sunday, Potts said.

Metroparks officials said the teen was conscious and breathing when rescue crews arrived. He was taken by medical helicopter to MetroHealth Medical Center, Potts said. His condition is not known at this time.
