A 16-year-old girl was rescued Tuesday after a deep sand hole collapsed at Mission Beach in San Diego and buried her up to her neck, officials said.
Lifeguards at a San Diego beach raced against the encroaching tide to rescue a 16-year-old girl after a deep sand hole collapsed, burying the teen up to her neck, officials and witnesses said Tuesday. Beachgoers at Mission Beach crowded around first responders who were frantically digging to free the trapped teen from the six- to eight-foot hole around 4:50 p.m. 'We saw that she was buried up to her neck, we could only see her head and her arms sticking out,' Lt.
Since I already had a shovel in my hand, they could see ‘don’t bother that guy, just let him keep digging,’ so I was just digging like crazy,' Mastan told FOX5. The girl, whose name was not released publicly, was digging in the sand with friends when she fell into the hole, the San Diego Fire Department told KFMB-TV. The teen’s friends initially tried to dig her out, though were unsuccessful and flagged down lifeguards, according to reports.
Despite the immediate efforts of bystanders and first responders, Sloan was pronounced dead at a hospital. Her brother survived the ordeal. Fox News’ Michael Dorgan contributed to this report.
