HEBER CITY, Utah (ABC4) – Beach-goers are being credited for saving a 14-year-old girl that began to struggle in the water at a Wasatch County state park.

Sunday afternoon, authorities were called to a beach in Jordanelle State Park. They were informed three individuals had all been using a single floatation pool toy when the girl began to struggle and continued going underwater.

Beach-goers swam out to assist the girl, who was not wearing a life jacket, and brought her to shore.

They began CPR on the girl and were able to revive her without further incident. She was later cleared at a nearby hospital.

Around the same time Sunday, rangers were called to Deer Creek Reservoir after two people were found floating unconscious. A passerby with EMS training was able to assist responding rangers in bringing three individuals – all without life jackets – from the water.
