A 17-year-old teenager has incurred serious injuries after being thrown from a car outside Wyoming High School yesterday afternoon. According to a report by FOX 17, the incident occurred in the school's parking lot and involved the teen riding on the exterior of the vehicle before the fall. The Wyoming Police Department is currently investigating the circumstances of the event, including the reason behind the teenager's hazardous position on the car.
Further details disclosed by the WOODTV highlighted the timing of the incident near school dismissal time, at approximately 2:30 p.m. The identity of the teen, whether he is a student at Wyoming High School or not,, has not been disclosed to the public. Emergency medical services transported the injured party to a nearby hospital, where he is receiving care for his injuries.
In an act of due diligence, Superintendent Craig Hoekstra communicated with the parents and guardians of Wyoming High School students regarding the incident. A statement conveyed by WZZM 13 included Hoekstra's declaration stating, "EMS was called to assist a student who required medical attention. Please rest assured that the situation was handled swiftly and with the utmost care." He further praised the school's staff and scholars for adhering to established procedures during the emergency.
The Superintendent remained tight-lipped about further particulars, citing the student's privacy, with the assurance, "I am very proud of our staff and scholars who followed our procedures as instructed," Hoekstra told WZZM 13. As the investigation unfolds, the Wyoming Police Department has yet to release additional information surrounding the events that led to the teen's fall. Consequently, ensuring a safe environment remains a critical concern for students and parents alike, especially in the aftermath of unexpected and somber situations such as this one.
