A teenage boy is hospitalized after nearly drowning during his shift at Six Flags Hurricane Harbor in North Texas Thursday night.
It happened just before 9 p.m. on Thursday, June 13, in the 1800 block of E. Lamar Boulevard.
According to the Arlington Police Department, a 17-year-old boy who worked at the water park fell into one of the pools after the location was closed to the public.

"On our end, officers respond to these types of calls to ensure there is nothing suspicious or criminal about the incident," Arlington Police told NBC 5.
