Girl Dies on Oregon Beach When Sand Hole Caves In

A nine-year-old girl died at a beach in Lincoln City, Oregon, Friday evening when the sand cave she was digging with her siblings collapsed. Isabel Grace Franks sat down in the hole to see how deep it was and the walls fell in. Rescuers tried frantically to dig her out, and when she was finally pulled free she was unconscious and not breathing. "The people were digging and digging and digging, and it looked like the sand kept collapsing," said witness Tracey Dudley.
