BEAVER — A child was flown to Primary Children's Hospital after almost drowning Tuesday evening.

Beaver County Sheriff's Office said it received a report of a child who had driven a toy tractor into a river around 6 p.m. The witness had lost sight of the child, but emergency responders quickly located the child once they arrived at the scene.

Responders rendered medical aid there, before the child was taken to a Beaver hospital then flown by helicopter to Primary Children's Hospital. The sheriff's office did not say whether the child was taken to the children's hospital in Lehi or Salt Lake City.

The child's condition is also unknown and the sheriff's office did not report where the incident happened.
