UTAH, USA — A Chandler boy was killed in a water vessel accident that knocked him, his brother and his father into the water at Sand Hollow Reservoir in Utah.
Two personal watercrafts that were carrying a total of six people, two children and one adult on each, crashed into one another around 1:15 p.m. Monday.
One of the groups of people fell off their watercraft into the water.
The father and two children were transported to Dixie Regional Medical Center, where Ethan David Law, 11, was pronounced dead on Tuesday.
The father and other two children sustained non-life-threatening injuries.
All six people were wearing life jackets. CPR was administered by passersby until Utah State Park Rangers arrived with emergency responders.
The Utah Division of Parks and Recreation released a statement:
"The Utah Division of Parks and Recreation extends our condolences to the family and friends impacted by this tragedy. Boaters are reminded that Utah Law requires vessels to remain a minimum of 150-feet away from one another when operating above a wakeless speed."
