Two boys airlifted to Salt Lake City hospital after being tossed from pickup truck in Duchesne County

TABIONA, Utah (ABC4) — Two boys in Duchesne County were airlifted to a hospital in Salt Lake City after they were thrown from the back of a pickup truck on Thursday evening.

The Duchesne County Sheriff’s Office said the two boys, ages 9 and 6, were riding on the tailgate of the truck, driven by a 19-year-old family member. The three boys were reportedly on their way to change water wheel lines when the truck hit a bump in the road near 4000 North and Tabby Lane near Tabiona.
