A teenage girl was reportedly injured Monday at Lake Tenkiller.

Donald Dixon, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers lead ranger, said the teen and others were jumping off bluffs at Tenkiller State Park when the girl jumped off a 15-foot bluff and landed in the water incorrectly.

The girl suffered neck and head injuries and was lifeflighted to a Tahlequah hospital.

"It wasn't life threatening," Dixon said.

At press time, the name of the girl was not available.

After an experiment that lasted several months, the editors at Your TIMES decided this week to end the practice of allowing anonymous comments on our website because most of the comments involve personal attacks and unfounded accusations. These comments do not add information to a story, or add any true insight. While we believe in the free exchange of ideas, it had become evident that was not what was happening in the comment section of our website. Readers can also become fans of Your TIMES on Facebook and may comment on our postings there. Readers are also encouraged to write letters to the editor to the newspaper about matters of public interest. The newspaper circulation is several times that of the web site, so readership is much higher. Letters must include a name and phone number so that we may contact the writer to verify authenticity of the letter. Letters are limited to 500 words and one letter per writer per month is accepted.
