LOS GATOS, CA -- Santa Clara County rescue crews were dispatched to a scene this past weekend in which a juvenile was so encased in mud at a reservoir he had to be pulled out.

Emergency personnel arrived for the 6:12 p.m. Saturday call to find a 12-year-old male about 300 yards from the Old Santa Cruz Highway at Wright Drive near the southwest side Lexington Reservoir with one leg completely stuck up to his knee.

Fire crews were able to dig around the limb to relieve the suction of the mud and extricate

the youth in about 45 minutes. They assisted him back to the roadway, where he was transferred to Santa Clara County Emergency Management Services before being transported to an area

hospital as a precaution.
