Be Carefull Sledding!!!!!!
2 Girls have been hospitalized because of sledding injuries. Rescuers were called to Laura Dodge Elementary School near 3520 Maplewood Boulevard at about 12:15 p.m. Witnesses said the girls were pushed off a steep hill on an innertube and hit very high speeds at the bottom of the hill, and then went over o snow bank being used as a jumping ramp. The teens were launched over and onto the pavement. Another witness said they were about 20 feet high in the air. One of the girls landed on her head, and the other on her back. One was unconcious when witnesses ran to over to help. One was treated at the Nebraska Medical Center and was released. The other (Sarah Rogers) was taken into serious condition to Creighton University Medical Center and no new information about her and her conditon has been released. Experts say when sledding , it's almost impossible to be prepared. And that a big part of being safe when sledding is to be aware of your surroundings. And be sure to wear extra pads and safety equipment.
