Girl trapped in sand dies after the sand hole collapsed on her. The local police in Lincoln City, a coastal town in Oregon, have confirmed that it was a 9-year-old girl trapped in sand dies.
Lieutenant Jerry Palmer has released a statement saying that the local police and firefighters were very quick to respond to the call, which they received shortly after 5 p.m. on Friday. As soon as they arrived at the site, they found a group of people who were frantically trying to dig out the girl, who was later identified as Isabel Grace Franks. The officers immediately went to work, extracting Franks from a huge hole made of sand.
As soon as Franks was pulled three from the sand rubble, the police immediately began CPR on her, as she was already unconscious and was no longer breathing. The North Lincoln Fire and Rescue and ambulance medical teams then took over the CPR for Franks, and Franks was immediately taken to the hospital. It was in the hospital that she died.
According to Palmer's statement, Franks' family members were actually with her when the collapse happened.
Jim Kusz, the spokesperson of North Lincoln Fire, informed The Oregonian that Franks and the family members whom she came to the beach with were actually just visiting from Sandy, which is around 28 miles to the southeast of Portland.
Kusz also told KOMO News that Franks, the girl trapped in sand dies, was buried under the sand for approximately five minutes. According to the statements of the witnesses, Franks, and several other kids, where digging a huge hole on the beach. She sat down inside the hole, which was shortly before 5 p.m. when the sand suddenly caved in on her.
Tracey Dudley, one of the witnesses, who was staying at a hotel that was located nearby, informed KOMO News, "And we heard screaming and screaming coming from the beach. At first we though, you know, it was just kids. But, it was, like, screaming and screaming and screaming." It was Dudley who called 911 and watched as the team rushed to dig the girl trapped in sand dies out from under the sand, but the sand just kept falling straight back into the hole.
