ATHENS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio University says a student fell from a fourth-floor window in a dormitory and is hospitalized.

University spokeswoman Jennifer Krisch says the student was injured and was taken to O’Bleness Memorial Hospital here. Krisch said this morning she had no information on the student’s identity or the extent of the injuries.

She says the student fell around midnight from a window at Weld House, a dorm built in 1969. Krisch says it isn’t clear how the student fell, but police are investigating.
