Football player released from hospital

Sophomore offensive lineman Ben Lueken was released from the University of Kansas Hospital Thursday afternoon, the Kansas City hospital’s spokesman Dennis Minich confirmed.

Minich said Lueken left the hospital in good condition. A police report obtained from the college’s public safety office indicated that Lueken suffered severe lacerations following an incident in a Jayhawker Towers parking lot early Sunday.

Captain Schuyler Bailey, public safety office spokesman, said Lueken was either thrown from or tumbled off the roof of a sport utility vehicle during the incident. A suspect was identified and the investigation is ongoing.
