MITCHELL — One individual was hospitalized early Saturday morning after they fell from the viaduct on Sanborn Boulevard.
Shortly after 1 a.m. Saturday, police were called to the viaduct just south of the intersection of Sanborn Boulevard and First Avenue in Mitchell for what a sergeant with the Mitchell Police Division referred to as a mental health call.
Shortly after their arrival, the individual fell from the viaduct to the train tracks below.
Paramedics with Mitchell Fire quickly worked to retrieve the individual from the area beneath the viaduct, where the train trucks run.
The individual, who survived the initial fall, was eventually transported to a hospital for treatment of their injuries.
