Gold Cross Ambulance transported the girl to Meeker Memorial Hospital, where she later died from her injuries.

The Meeker County Sheriff's Office is continuing to investigate this death.

The children were under adult supervision and this appears to be a tragic accident resulting in the death of a 10-year-old family member, said Norlin.
