Heartbreaking news out of Utah where authorities say a 14-year-old boy has died following a collision at the Alta Ski Area. KSL reports emergency personnel responded to the Sugarloaf area just before 10 a.m. Sunday and began life-saving efforts on the unconscious boy. He was airlifted to Primary Children’s Hospital, where he later died from his injuries. The Alta Marshal’s Office is investigating the incident and said it will not be releasing the boy’s name. Our deepest condolences to the boys family and friends.
