Rockford girl hurt when gravestone topples

Thu, Jun 5, 2008    to del.icio.us




ROCKFORD (AP) — A 12-year-old girl sustained a head injury when a gravestone toppled onto her during a school field trip to a cemetery in Rockford, authorities said.

The North Rockford Middle School sixth-grader was among about 60 students at Rockford Cemetery on Wednesday when she was hurt.

The girl's name and condition weren't released. Authorities said she was taken by ambulance to a hospital.

Rockford City Manager Michael Young said students were using crayons to rub imprints of gravestones onto paper at the cemetery, which is located about 12 miles northeast of Grand Rapids.

Rockford Public Schools officials said the trip was part of an effort to bring to life the Natalie Babbitt novel "Tuck Everlasting," which the students had been reading in English class.
