Mass. girl, 18, badly hurt in "pool hopping" accident; she and friend also get summonses for trespassing

(CBS/AP) WESTFORD, Mass. - The decision by two young Massachusetts women to go "pool hopping" landed one of them in the hospital with severe injuries when she jumped into an empty pool.

Jane Gallagher, the mother of 18-year-old Kelsey Gallagher, says her daughter suffered a spinal injury, a fractured skull and a broken wrist when she jumped into the in-ground pool just after midnight Monday.

Alexis Mcauliffe, 20, was unhurt.

Pool owner Chester Cook told CBS Boston that he did not know the women. He says the older of the two pounded on his door at about 12:30 a.m. Monday when her friend got hurt.

The pool is under repair and had no water in it.

Police say the women were engaged in a game of "pool hooping," or taking a quick dip in strangers' pools.

Authorities reportedly said alcohol may have been a factor in Gallagher's decision to jump head first into the empty pool, however no alcoholic beverages were found at the scene.

The station reports police gave both summonses for trespassing on Wednesday.
