New Hampshire boy rescued after nine-hour ordeal trapped between boulders

An 11-year-old boy was freed after being trapped between two boulders near his school for over nine hours.

The boy, who slipped into the crevice in Windsor around 3:15 am, was taken to a hospital for evaluation and subsequently released, as per the Wediko School in New Hampshire where he is a student.

The school , a residential treatment center for boys, said: "On Sunday evening, while under supervision, a student exploring a rocky area on campus slipped between two boulders when sticks and debris gave way beneath them." Despite the efforts of multiple staff members to free the student, they were unsuccessful and had to call local emergency rescue services.
