PROVO, Utah, May 25, 2020 (Gephardt Daily) — Three people were injured in falls in the area of Stewart Falls near Sundance Monday.

A tweet from Utah County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Spencer Cannon said a 9-year-old boy from Hawaii and a 19-year-old woman both fell some 40 feet from Stewart Falls. A 43-year-old woman fell at the bottom of the falls and broke her leg. All three, who were not in the same group, are in serious to critical condition. Life Flight transported the 9-year-old boy, while ground ambulances transported the 43-year-old woman and the 19-year-old woman.

The sheriff’s office said in a Facebook post that the three separate incidents happened at about the same time, around noon.

Utah County Sheriff’s Office was assisted by UCSO Search and Rescue, North Fork Fire and Provo Fire.
