Teen injured after falling into canyon at Starved Rock State Park

DEER PARK TOWNSHIP, Ill. (WGN) — A teen boy is recovering in the hospital on Friday after he was injured in a fall at Starved Rock State Park.

Officials from the Utica Fire Department say the 14-year-old boy was airlifted to the hospital on Thursday after he fell into LaSalle Canyon at around 5 p.m.

The teen, who officials say is from the Hinckley-Big Rock area, fell about 20 to 30 feet into the canyon and crews were on the scene for about and a half hour as they worked to pull him to safety.

Crews then carried the teen from the canyon and placed him in a boat that they took to the helicopter zone.

The teen was later flown by helicopter to the hospital where he was listed in good condition.
