A Nitro High School student is recovering after an overdose. Police say a fourteen year old girl took too much Xanax.
It happened Friday morning at the high school. Police say the girl was alert when she was taken to the hospital Friday morning. Students tell us they were surprised to see emergency crews at the school this morning and they wondered what was going on.
“I was walking through the bridge way and we saw two police cars and a fire truck. Then when were walking down the hall and then the next class we heard about it,” student Joshua Cobb said.
Police are not releasing the young girl's name at this time. Nitro’s principal would not comment on the incident for privacy reasons.
