On February 15 an eighth grader was injured in a snowboarding accident.
According to authorities the accident happened at Pomerelle Mountian Resort in Albion, when 13 year old Lexi Bingham was injured after going over a jump and falling forward onto her face during an annual ski trip with classmates. This was the first time she had been injured despite having been on the trip many times.
She suffered a broken neck and was taken to the Primary Children’s Hospital in Salt Lake City where she remains in intensive care. Doctors have told the family that Lexi is paralyzed, but as yet she is not aware of her prognosis as she is still on a ventilator and using a feeding tube. Once she is released, she will spend three to four months undergoing rehabilitation at the University of Utah hospital.
The Bingham family is now planning to sell their house to build a new one which is suitable for their daughter when she returns home.
