MILWAUKEE – Police in Milwaukee say a teenage boy has survived after being accidentally dumped into the back of a recycling truck and compacted.
Police say the 14-year-old ran away from a boot camp-style school for teens Monday and hid in a recycling bin filled with cardboard.
The bin was picked up by a waste management truck and dumped into the vehicle's rear compactor.
A waste management spokeswoman says the truck continued on its collection route, compacting cardboard several times.
The boy wasn't discovered until the truck dumped its load at a recycling processing centre.
He was semiconscious and was taken to a hospital, but police say his injuries aren't life-threatening.
