A 16-year-old girl who was buried in sand up to her neck after a 6ft hole she dug partially collapsed on a beach in San Diego was rescued on Tuesday, 16 July. The teenager became trapped beneath 6 to 8 feet of sand, the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department said. Emergency services could only see her head and arms sticking up, Lifeguard Lt. Jacob Magness said during a press conference. They used shovels to free the trapped girl. She later walked out of the hole uninjured, Magness said.
