Freshman Suffers Head Injury during Swimming Pool Accident

News sources are saying that a freshman from the University of Kansas remains in a metro hospital after suffering injuries during a fraternity party last Friday night at the Phi Gamma Delta house.

18-year-old Matthew Fritzie allegedly dove into a shallow swimming pool that was constructed from sandbags.  When he dove into the pool, he sustained a serious head injury and had to be airlifted to the University of Kansas Hospital.

According to University officials, police are still trying to determine if there was underage drinking at the party and whether alcohol played a role in the accident.

Sgt. Matt Sarna said, "As far as criminal acts, that's what detectives have been out investigating today -- to see if any criminal activity happened that night."
