On Friday, two boys aged 11 and 12 were airlifted from Matthiessen State Park in Illinois after a roughhousing incident during a school field trip. The event, which involved more than 50 students, escalated when the boys were playing in the water and one of them inhaled water, leading to a brief loss of consciousness. Emergency crews were dispatched around 12:45 p.m. after an adult chaperone began performing CPR on the unconscious boy near the Lower Dells area. Upon the arrival of first responders approximately 15 minutes later, both boys were found to be conscious and alert, although they exhibited signs of shock and distress. As a precaution, they were airlifted in two separate helicopters to OSF Children's Hospital of Illinois for further evaluation. Fortunately, their injuries were reported as not life-threatening. The Illinois Conservation Police are currently investigating the incident and have been contacted for further comments.
