Teen Airlifted to Hospital After Fall

(Kingsbury, IN) - A teenager was taken by medical helicopter last night after a fall in La Porte County.

 

According to La Porte County Police, emergency responders were called to Kingsbury Industrial Park.

 

The investigation shows 19 year old Kalvin Korbel was scaling the wall of an abandoned tire factory at Hupp Road and 4th Line Road when he fell with his flashlight on.

 

Police said he was there with two friends because they wanted to see graffiti artwork that had been done on the structure.

 

While waiting for emergency responders, police said Korbel only responded "yes or no" to questions and was flown to a hospital in South Bend with a possible head injury.

 

The rest of his injuries were described as minor. Sources said he fell about 20 feet to the ground.
