A 15-year-old suffered a neck injury at the school.
A teenager was brought to a hospital by a medical helicopter after suffering a serious injury at Essex North Shore Agricultural & Technical School.
The 15-year-old boy suffered a neck injury while at a wrestling practice at Essex Tech Wednesday, according to Danvers Deputy Fire Chief Brian Barry. Essex Tech is a vocational high school in Danvers.
The boy was then transported to the State Police barracks in Danvers on Maple Street, near the school. From there, a medical helicopter brought him to Boston Medical Center, according to Barry.
It is not clear if the boy is a student at Essex Tech. Barry said Thursday afternoon that he had not received any updates or further details.
