Virginia Teen Dies in Sand Collapse at Cape Hatteras National Seashore
A 17-year-old boy from Virginia died on the Outer Banks in North Carolina after a hole dug in the sand collapsed and trapped him underneath. The collapse happened in Frisco, and the boy was found buried under several feet of sand in a hole dug on a back dune behind the primary dune. Last year, Outer Banks officials launched a safety campaign about the dangers of digging holes in the sand after a teen died in a hole collapse on the New Jersey shore.
