A teenage boy died from injuries sustained after a tragic mishap at the beach near Seaview Road in Toms River.
Main residents Levy Caverley, 18, and his 17-year-old sister were at the beach with their family at around 4 pm, and the siblings were using Frisbees to dig a 10-foot hole in the sand.
Suddenly, the hole they had dug and were in collapsed around them, trapping both teens inside.
EMS teens were able to rescue the 17-year-old girl, but Levy sadly died during the collapse.
