Font ResizeTwo teenagers spent hours waiting to be rescued over the weekend after their pickup truck rolled several hundred feet down a ravine in Davis County.
A 17-year-old Centerville boy and 16-year-old Farmington girl had gone up Farmington Canyon before sunrise Saturday, said Davis County sheriff's Capt. Kenneth Payne. They had spent the night at the Bountiful Peak campground, and were planning to join a group of deer hunters at the top of the canyon.
Shortly after they left, their truck careened off Farmington Canyon Road and rolled about 600 feet down the side of the mountain, Payne said. The boy was thrown and pinned underneath the truck. The girl was still inside. She started calling for help about 7:30 a.m. A deer hunter heard her and called 911.
Search and rescue crews responded and searched the canyon for about two hours, but the girl apparently passed out again and they found no sign of the truck.
"The reason no one could find them is they were 600 feet down the embankment," Payne said.
Several hours later, the girl woke up, struggled out of the truck, and apparently crawled back up the canyon, Payne said.
"She was found by another deer hunter," Payne said. "She said the person she was with was pinned under the truck."
The hunter called police about 11:15 a.m., and deputies found the boy under the truck. Search and rescue crews brought him out about an hour later. He was flown to McKay-Dee Hospital in Ogden
