Four weeks after a soccer goal post fell on a Chula Vista child, there's been an improvement in the boy's medical condition.
The Eastlake Middle School student has been hospitalized in critical condition since the March 20. On Monday, the hospital confirmed the child has been upgraded to good condition.
The eighth grader was injured during PE class when a goal post fell on him. A teacher attempted to pull the child out from under the goal, straining her leg in the process.
Medics airlifted him to Rady Children's Hospital with a head injury.
Sweetwater Union High School District spokesperson Manny Rubio told NBC 7 at the time of the incident that the goal posts were standard at every school. They are not normally anchored down because they're meant to be able to be moved around.
The accident remains under investigation.
