A 6-year-old Utah boy was killed after he fell off a snowplow that his dad was using to clear a camp, police said.

Herman Slaughter was riding with his father and brother Friday morning at a Provo Canyon camp when the snowplow “bounced or lurched,” causing him to fly in the machine’s path, according to Utah County Sheriff’s Office.

The snowplow then struck him in the head, resulting in critical injuries.

His father performed CPR on him until paramedics arrived, but he died at the scene.

“We don’t think this was anything other than a tragic accident,” Utah County Sheriff’s Sgt. Spencer Cannon told Deseret News.
