LAKE OSWEGO, Ore. -- A teenage boy suffered serious head injuries in a sledding accident Tuesday.

Lake Oswego fire crews said the 16-year-old was sledding down a short, steep driveway when he fell and hit his head near Lake Bible Church on Carman Drive.

He was flown by LifeFlight to Emanuel Hospital.

Emergency crews said it was the second sledding injury in two days, after a five-year-old boy hit his head on a bleacher on near Lakeridge High on Monday. His injuries were not serious.

Crews wanted to remind sledders that melting snow during the day can freeze as temps continue to drop, creating slicker conditions.
