Boy killed by sand dune
Yikes, we were planning a trip to the dunes, we didn’t realize it could be dangerous.
An 11-year-old boy was killed after a sand dune on a Santa Cruz beach collapsed on him and two friends Saturday, according to a state parks official.
The boy, whose name was not released, was pulled out from under the sand after about 15 minutes, said state parks lifeguard supervisor Chip Bockman. A 10-year-old boy and a 9-year-old boy who were pulled out both survived the collapse, which occurred at about 4:23 p.m. at Natural Bridges State Beach at the north end of Santa Cruz, Bockman said.
