A 15-year-old reported missing Sunday morning was found with injuries in Hoover woods that day.

Police were notified at 11 a.m. that the Helena teen was missing and was believed to be in the area of South Shades Crest Road and Brocks Gap Parkway.

Police Lt. Daniel Lowe said a large group of officers and the department’s drone unit immediately began searching the area.

CSX stopped all train traffic in the area to help in the search, and the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office provide K-9 support.

The teen was found just before 4 p.m. Lowe said Hoover firefighters assisted in extricating the boy from the woods.

He was taken to Children’s of Alabama with non-life-threatening injuries.

Lowe said the cause of the teen’s disappearance remains under investigation. It was not immediately clear how long he had been missing before police were notified.
