Teen girl hurt in fall while jumping between roofs in Butler
A teenager was injured Tuesday night when she fell while jumping between the rooftops of buildings along Main Street in downtown Butler, according to authorities.
The girl fell about 20 feet and suffered leg and back injuries, first responders said.
She was unable to move in the roughly 2-foot wide space between the two buildings and had to be hoisted out from the window of one of the buildings.
The incident occurred in the 200 block of Main Street near Miller’s Shoes.
The girl, whose name has not been released, was flown to Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh for treatment of non-life threatening injuries.
