CACHE COUNTY, Utah – A 10-year-old boy was taken to a hospital by medical helicopter Sunday with injuries to his hip, left arm and abdomen after he drove over a drop-off and came to a rest about 60 feet below.
The incident occurred around 1 p.m. in the area west of Tony Grove Lake when a 10-year-old from Providence rode his father’s snowmobile over a steep drop off that he didn’t see until it was too late.

He was taken to Primary Children’s Hospital for further care, and his current condition is unknown, according to the press release.
