San Diego Lifeguards Rescue Teen Trapped in Collapsed Sand Hole

16-year-old girl buried up to her neck in sand at Mission Beach saved by quick response from lifeguards and beachgoers.

The girl was digging a hole in the sand when it collapsed, burying her in six to eight feet of sand.
Rescue teams had less than an hour to free her before the high tide could complicate the situation.
Beachgoers, lifeguards, and emergency responders worked together to dig her out in around 15 minutes.
The teen was conscious and uninjured, and she was released after a medical evaluation.
Authorities warn against digging deep holes in the sand due to the risk of collapse.
