SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) – A 14-year-old was rescued near Donut Falls on Thursday.
Shortly after 9 p.m., Salt Lake County Search and Rescue crews were called to help the teenager who had arm, leg, and back injuries.
The boy had fallen near the donut of Donut Falls in Little Cottonwood Canyon, possibly breaking an arm and a leg.
