What started off as students goofing around in the parking lot of Terra Academy ended with a student in the hospital on Monday morning. Vernal PD provided the details of what happened in a news release on Monday afternoon. “On November 4th, two juveniles were riding on the hood of a vehicle in the parking lot of the Terra Academy Charter School in Vernal,” shares Vernal PD. “The vehicle was being operated by an 18 year old student of the school. The two 16 year old juveniles slipped off the front of the vehicle’s hood, resulting in one of the juveniles being trapped under the vehicle. Law Enforcement and Emergency Medical Services responded to the scene of the accident. Law Enforcement and bystanders quickly lifted the vehicle, and the victim was extricated from underneath the vehicle. The victim was transported to the Ashley Regional Medical Center Emergency Room, where she was stabilized and transferred to a Salt Lake Area Hospital, where she is in intensive care. The case is currently under investigation and will be reviewed for charges.” Evans Family Media joins Vernal PD in sending thoughts and prayers for those involved and wishing the injured student a prompt recovery.
