The teenager from Virginia was buried under several feet of sand after an adjacent dune apparently collapsed into the hole.
NORFOLK, Va. — Authorities in coastal North Carolina are investigating the death of a teenager who became trapped in a hole that was dug in the sand, the latest fatality from the scourge of sand holes that continues to claim young people’s lives., which sits along the Cape Hatteras National Seashore on the Outer Banks, the National Park Service said in a statement.
Rangers and other emergency responders worked with family members to rescue the teen while simultaneously performing CPR, the park service said. Efforts to revive the teen, who lived in Chesapeake, Virginia, failed. Mike Barber, a park service spokesman, told The Associated Press Monday that the incident remained under investigation and that no new information was available.
In 2014, a Fredericksburg, Virginia, man died at Salvo, on North Carolina’s Outer Banks, when sand collapsed on top of him after authorities said he was tunneling between two holes.
