Wis. Boy Scout dies from rock bridge fall in Utah
Authorities said an 18-year-old Boy Scout from Wisconsin has died after falling 100 feet from a rock formation in Utah.
Anthony Alvin of Green Lake, Wis., was with a group of Scouts and Scout leaders when he fell Saturday morning at Gemini Bridges, near Moab.
Gemini Bridges is a rock span over Bull Canyon that has cleaved into two parallel bridges. It’s about 235 miles southeast of Salt Lake City.
In a news release, the Grand County sheriff’s office said Alvin tried to jump about 6 feet, from one span of the bridge to the other, but fell backward.
