KNOX, N.Y. (WTEN) — A 12-year-old New York girl was hospitalized after being buried by a snowplow while playing outside a Knox, New York home Thursday morning.

Albany County Sheriff Craig Apple confirmed to NewsNation affiliate WTEN that the girl was alive in an update Thursday evening.

The girl was digging holes in the snow while she played outside the home Thursday morning when a family member, who was plowing snow, accidentally buried her in a snowbank without realizing it, according to the Times Union.

When family members couldn’t find the girl they realized what happened and called 911, then started digging, the paper reports. It’s not clear how long she was trapped under the snow, but she wasn’t breathing by the time they found her.

Family members, guided by emergency dispatchers, performed CPR on the child until deputies and EMTs arrived around 8:30 a.m. It wasn’t immediately clear if the family or first responders were the ones who resuscitated her, but she began breathing again and was taken to an area hospital for treatment.
