ISLAND PARK, Idaho — Three children were flown to the hospital after a large amount of snow slid off a roof and buried them Friday evening.
Fremont County Sheriff Len Humphries says a 2-year-old and two 7-year-olds, all girls, were outside a cabin in the Mack's Inn area around 5:30 p.m. when the accident happened.
Saturday morning, the Fremont County Sheriff's Office told the East Idaho News the 2-year-old child died as a result of this accident. The other two 7-year-olds are now in fair condition in EIRMC's pediatrics.
