Minn. man, 20, suffers neck injury in shallow dive

A Belgrade man remains hospitalized after suffering a neck injury this week while diving from a dock into shallow water.

A spokeswoman at North Memorial Medical Center in Robbinsdale confirmed Saturday that Kyle Lee Dokken, 20, was still in the hospital's care.

She wasn't authorized to release his condition. The St. Cloud Times says he was in serious condition Friday.

Todd County authorities say Dokken was hurt Thursday about 3:30 a.m. at the Pillsbury swimming beach on Little Swan Lake. No other details were released.
