Teen Found Unconscious At Beach On 'Senior Cut Day'

MUIR BEACH, CA – California Highway Patrol officers responded by helicopter Tuesday to Little Beach in Marin County to assist the Southern Marin and Muir Beach fire departments following a report of an unconscious 17-year-old boy, who was possibly cutting school with some members of his senior class, according to officials.

The H-32 CHP flight officer and paramedics landed in the remote beach area where the teen was – near the water with the tide coming in, the CHP's Golden Gate Division Air Operations said.

"Apparently this was a group of high school students participating in the non-sanctioned 'senior cut day,'" the agency said.

The male, who was not identified, was transported by the helicopter to the John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek where he underwent treatment, officials said, noting, "Fortunately this student will not have long-lasting effects of his poor choice."

Details on the teen's condition or which school he attended were not disclosed.

"This may be a good reminder to all parents to have a talk with their students about the consequences of cutting school and partaking in activities that may lead them to trouble and a bad outcome," the CHP added.

The incident is under investigation by the Marin County Sheriff's Office.
