Crews rescued a teen who fell into the Green River on Tuesday afternoon in Black Diamond.

Water rescue crews responded to the Green River Gorge Bridge just after 3 p.m.

Officials said the first rescuers to reach the teen found him awake with serious injuries from hitting large rocks.

King County's Guardian 2 hoisted and transported the teen to Harborview Medical Center. His condition is unknown.

KIRO 7 talked to the teen's grandfather who said his grandson slipped on a rock while attempting to jump into the water.

This is the second rescue in this part of the Green River this summer, officials said.
