PLEASANT VIEW, Utah (AP) -- Two young girls are in the hospital this morning after falling 20 feet at a construction site in Pleasant View.

It happened yesterday at a home under construction.

Police say the sisters, ages five and six, were playing in the unfinished home while their father, who's a contractor, worked nearby. Officers say that's when the girls fell from the second story of the home onto a concrete floor below.

The girls were flown to Primary Children's Hospital.

Police say the six-year-old remained in critical condition last night, while the five-year-old's injuries were NOT as severe.
