North Carolina teenager suffers unimaginable horror while sunbathing at the beach
A 15-year-old girl was hospitalized after a pickup truck performing beach survey work ran over her legs while she was sunbathing on a public beach in Oak Island, authorities confirmed. The incident occurred around 2:11 p.m. on July 14 when Oak Island Public Safety officials responded to reports of a pedestrian being struck by a vehicle operating on the sand between Keziah Street and Womble Street. The teen, whose identity has not been released, was evaluated on-scene for possible non-life-threatening injuries and later transported to Novant Health Brunswick Medical Center in Bolivia for further evaluation 'out of caution,' officials said. The vehicle - a 2020 GMC pickup - belongs to TI Coastal Services, a private contractor conducting beach survey work for engineering firm Moffatt & Nichol, according to a press release from the Town of Oak Island. The work is part of preparations for the 2025–26 Beach Nourishment Project, which includes land and sea surveying. Police have not indicated whether any charges are being considered against the driver. Town officials have since addressed growing misinformation online, stating clearly that the Oak Island Beach Safety Unit was not involved in the incident. 'It has been erroneously reported on social media and other platforms that this accident was caused by the Town's Beach Safety Unit during its regular patrols. This information is false and should not be shared,' the town said in a statement. 'Claims such as this can quickly cause the spread of misinformation, and lead to a dangerous lack of trust in first responders.' The beach survey work began on July 7 and is expected to continue through mid-July. Town officials said the project had been publicly announced in advance via newsletters and official notices. No further details have been released regarding the teen's condition or whether the contractor has responded to the incident, according to Fox News. TI Coastal Services has not commented publicly. Daily Mail has reached out to TI Coastal Services for comment. The investigation remains ongoing. The terrifying incident comes just months after pair of teens, 14 and 15 years old were run over by a lifeguard at Nokomis Beach in Sarasota County. The two teens were lying on the beach when the lifeguard who was driving a Ford-150 pickup truck 'was moving slowly over the crest of the berm,' The guard told Fox13 at the time that he 'never saw any obstructions,' adding that 'his view was very limited by the hood of the pickup truck.' He told the outlet that he 'felt two bumps and stopped, realizing he had struck something, and he saw that he had run over two juveniles as he opened the truck's door. Both were lying down in the sand at an angle.' The beach staffer then immediately called 911 and began rendering aid to the injured teens. One teen was taken to Sarasota Memorial Hospital, complaining of pain in her neck, left shoulder, left side and left hip, Fox13 reported. The other teen was taken by Aeromed to All Children's Hospital. She advised that she heard the truck coming, but believed the sound was coming from the parking lot to the East rather than the beach to the west of them. The teen's mother said she suffered a broken pelvis and was being kept overnight to evaluate the status of her lungs and liver.

Sonoma sheriff identifies victims in separate weekend drownings
Authorities on Tuesday morning released the names of two people who died in separate drowning cases in Sonoma County over the weekend. The victims were Elan Miranda, 17, of Oakland, and Pranav Narain, 31, of San Francisco, according to the Sonoma County Sheriff's Office. Miranda died Sunday afternoon after a raft tipped over at Monte Rio Beach on the lower Russian River. Miranda and another teenager had been floating without lifejackets when they capsized around 3 p.m. One teen was rescued by a bystander, but Miranda could not be located immediately. First responders found the victim about 20 minutes later and administered CPR, but Miranda was pronounced dead at the scene. Less than an hour later, emergency crews responded to Martinelli Beach, where Narain had fallen into the ocean while paddleboarding. He was not wearing a lifejacket when he stood on the board and lost balance. A woman accompanying Narain tried to rescue him, but was unable to reach him. She swam to shore and called 911, then a sheriff's helicopter located Narain in the water. CPR was administered by fire personnel, but he was also pronounced dead at the scene.
