Teen boy injured after falling into missile silo near Watkins

A teenager was injured after falling 30 feet into a decommissioned missile silo north of Watkins on New Year’s Day, according to South Metro Fire Rescue officials. First responders were called around 3:45 p.m. Wednesday to a property in the 4500 block of South Imboden Road after a group of three people – two teenagers and an adult – were messing around with the lid of the missile silo and one of the teenagers fell in, said South Metro spokesperson Brian Willie.
