HUNTSVILLE, Utah — A 13-year-old girl is not expected to survive after being hit by a falling tree on the shore of Pineview Reservoir over the weekend.
The Weber County Sheriff's Office said the girl was in the Quist Beach area on Saturday around 2:15 p.m. when the tree fell onto her, causing a "traumatic injury."
The first deputy who responded to the scene provided lifesaving measures with the help of bystanders and family members until paramedics arrived. The girl was taken to the hospital in critical condition, but the sheriff's office said Monday that they do not expect that she'll survive.
