Tragic Sand Hole Collapse Claims Young Girl's Life at Florida Beach

A 7-year-old girl died and her 9-year-old brother was injured when a 4-to-5-foot-deep sand hole collapsed on them at a Florida beach. The incident highlights the underrecognized danger of sand hole collapses, which kill and injure several children in the US each year. Despite efforts by bystanders and emergency responders, the girl did not survive. Lifeguards emphasize the need for parents to be cautious about letting children dig at the beach and to avoid letting them dig too deep, as collapses can occur quickly and pose a serious hazard.
