9-Year-Old Killed Due to Collapsing Sand- Iris Hughey p.5

     9-year-old Isabel Grace Franks was playing in the Oregon beach sand of Lincoln city on Friday when the hole she had been digging collapsed on top of her, causing her to suffocate and die.  Lincoln police Sgt. Brian Eskridge believes she was under the sand for around five minutes after she had been digging the hole with her siblings.  Many people attempted to dig Franks out of the hole, but were unsuccessful until police and firefighters arrived because the sand kept collapsing.  She was unconscious and not breathing when they dug her out, and after CPR and revival techniques were frantically performed, she was pronounced dead at the hospital she was transported to.  I hope that every person that reads this article learns how to prevent this from ever happening again, and my condolences go to Isabel's family and friends.
