A student at Medina High School is fighting for his life after falling off a ledge in Hinkley Township—and his family and friends are rallying around him to recover.
Jacob Wuersig, 16, fell an estimated 30 feet while exploring Whipps Ledges with his friends Tuesday afternoon.“Jacob got a little overzealous and was doing some jumping across different ledges and flipped, jumped and slipped backwards off the ledge and couldn't catch himself and fell 20 to 30 feet down off the ledge. And it's all rocks on the bottom. So he had a rough landing," Robert said.
"I just want him to wake up so that he can see how much he's loved and and just cared for. Because man, does he ever have a support system," Jacob's mother Jen Wuersig said. In the meantime, a GoFundMe has been created to help pay for Jacob's medical bills. As of Friday, more than $27,000 has been raised.
