A teenage boy who was airlifted after suffering a neck injury while playing rugby at school is still recovering in hospital.
The air ambulance and paramedics were called to Cranbrook School at around 4pm on Monday after reports that a 15-year-old boy was hurt after being tackled during a training session.
He was treated on the playing fields at the Waterloo Road school before being taken by helicopter to Tunbridge Wells Hospital at Pembury.
A spokesman for the school confirmed that the boy is a boarding pupil and is currently still under observation in hospital.
A South East Coat Ambulance Service spokesman said that any potential neck injuries are treated very seriously which is why the pupil was taken to hospital.
