First responders were called to a home on 1777 Sivley Trail in Walden’s Ridge around 2:15 Sunday.

A 16-year-old boy attempted to jump from a trampoline into a swimming pool.

He didn’t make it into the pool hitting his head on the ground, and suffered a spinal injury. The boy was conscious and alert but complaining of being paralyzed from the neck down.

The teen was flown to Erlanger by Lifeforce. Hamilton County EMS also responded.
