MONTGOMERY, Al.
Authorities say a teenager is recovering after being rescued from a tunnel (old storm drain) in Montgomery.
Fire officials say the 13-year-old girl sustained broken limbs after falling down a 30- to 50-foot tunnel near Capitol Heights.
The Montgomery Advertiser reports that it took about two hours for fire crews to rescue the teen after they responded to the scene Sunday afternoon.
District Chief Eric Norton said a rope rescue system was used to pull the girl from the hole.
She suffered a broken leg and arm and is expected to recover from the ordeal.
Norton said it wasn't clear how the teenager got into the tunnel, which had a sudden drop-off.
