Sadly, the Weber County Sheriff's Office has said that the 13-year-old girl is not expected to make it.
It was a perfect summer day at Pineveiw Reservoir in Weber County, Utah, on Saturday, June 6th.
Everyone on Quist Beach was enjoying a fun Saturday, away from their worries, when a sudden wind gust and a large decaying tree changed everything.
A loud crash was heard by beach goers which was followed by cries of distress.
The wind gust had brought down a large tree without warning. Unfortunately, a group of young children had gathered under the tree to play.
When the tree came down, those children were in the exact wrong place at the wrong time. Several children were unfortunately struck by the falling tree.
The following moments were filled with alarm and confusion as family members rushed to assess the situation.
A number of young children were injured with various degrees of severity.
However, one family has been left with their entire future in the balance. A 13-year-old girl was found unconscious suffering a direct hit that has left her on life support.
A woman trained in CPR quickly ran over to aid the severely injured young girl. She reported that she was "unable to find a pulse" initially, and the child "appeared to be blue".
Another young girl suffered a broken arm, and many others sustained various less severe injuries.
The 13-year-old girl was rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment. Her family reports she is now on life support and is awaiting an organ donation. Today, June 9th, the Sheriff's Office put out a statement stating it is believed the young girl will not make it unfortunately.
Our thoughts are with the young girl and the family and friends of this young girl. They went from simply having a fun time together to their entire world turning upside down, and in such an unexpected and tragic way.
