SPANISH FORK — A third girl hit by a train on Saturday evening near the Covered Bridge Canyon area in Spanish Fork Canyon has died from her injuries.

Savannah Webster, 13, died Tuesday evening at Primary Children’s Medical Center. Her sister, Kelsea Webster, 15, and friend Essa Ricker, 15, died Saturday after the group was hit by a train. Savannah Webster survived the accident and was taken to Primary Children’s.

A statement released by Savannah Webster’s family on Tuesday evening says she suffered severe brain injuries.

“The family spoke to the doctors today, Tuesday, Oct. 18, and the doctors informed the family that Savvy’s brain injuries are too great. Even though the doctors have done everything possible, Savannah will not be able to recover. It is time to say good bye, for now, to an angel that walked among us,” the statement reads.

Her family said she would donate all available organs.

The Webster family says they appreciate the love and support they’ve gotten from the community.

“The amount of love that has been sent our way has been overwhelming,” said Jayna Webster, mother of Kelsea and Savannah, said in the statement. “It has kept our spirits up and brought us a peace that you may not even understand. Because of this, we want to make sure we let all of you know the appreciation we feel.

“We want to thank you and invite you to celebrate the lives of these two beautiful girls this coming Saturday. The details on services will be posted at a later time.”

Sgt. Spencer Cannon with Utah County Sheriff’s Office said they may never completely figure out the details of what happened at about dusk Saturday on train tracks in Spanish Fork Canyon.

“At least one of the victims was hit by both trains. We are still determining which person was hit by which train,” Cannon said.

Indications are the teens were taking some photos.

“We believe they were there to take pictures,” Cannon said. “In this case we don’t suspect anything bad was going on in their lives. We don’t think they were simply walking across the tracks going from point A to point B.”

Cannon acknowledged that most teens that age have the inability to grasp the reality of a situation completely. Judging the closeness of passing trains may have been beyond them.

“There is a concern about the allure of the tracks,” Cannon said. “What we do know is they may have been doing some photography. Covered Bridge Canyon is beautiful year round, particularly now.”

Cannon said folks who live in the Covered Bridge Canyon area are aware of the dangers of the tracks.

“There is nothing we can say that the public hasn’t heard already about safety,” Cannon said. He continued saying there have been many times when teenagers have been cited for trespassing and have not recognized the potential of a fatality in what they were doing.

“Accidents are not common in this area,” Cannon added. “Some aspects of the investigation will take a while. We won’t be able to close the investigation until autopsy reports come back. That could take a month or more.”

In the meantime, Cannon hopes anyone taking chances for photos or just for hiking and recreational purposes, take time to analyze the situation and take safety precautions first.

Bank accounts have been set up at Zions Bank to help with the financial hurdles of the accident. Donations can be made to any Zions branch in the name of Essa Ricker or Kelsea Webster.

Instead of sending flowers, the Webster Family would prefer donations to help cover expensive costs.
