A 7-year-old Nevada girl died after she was struck by a falling boulder at a ski resort Saturday, officials said.
Adelyn Grimes, of Reno, died after the incident at Diamond Peak Ski Resort in Incline Village, and the manner of death was ruled an accident, the Washoe County Regional Medical Examiner’s Office said in a statement to NBC affiliate KCRA of Sacramento.
Diamond Peak Ski Resort said its staff extended its "heartfelt condolences" to the girl's family.
Medical services were called at around 3:38 p.m. and the ski patrol responded and provided first aid, the ski resort said in a statement Monday, adding that North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection District and Washoe County Sheriff’s Office staff members also responded.
"Despite the emergency medical team’s best efforts, the child succumbed to their injuries," said the resort, which is northeast of the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe.
