11-year-old airlifted to hospital after sledding accident in San Gabriel Mountains

An 11-year-old child was airlifted to the hospital on Sunday after a sledding accident in the San Gabriel Mountains.

The child was taken to Children's Hospital Los Angeles via a Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department rescue helicopter, according to a post from the department on X. 

Deputies didn't provide information on the child's condition. 

The circumstances leading up to the accident are not immediately known. 

Despite initial reports from deputies that the incident happened at Mountain High Resort, a winter resort located in Wrightwood, park officials say that it actually happened about a half-mile from their resort in the Angeles National Forest. 

Much of the region was coated with snow over the weekend when a storm swept through the area.
