JUAB COUNTY, Utah â A Utah County man was in the western part of the state on Saturday looking for gemstones when he chipped a rock that gave way to a boulder, carrying him down the mountain.
Taylor Horton was at Topaz Mountain in Juab County with some family and friends when he chipped at a rock that ended up causing him to tumble about 20 feet down the slope, ultimately shattering his ankle and chipping his elbow.
âI was off to the side of [the boulder] and it kind of grabbed me. It kind of landed on my left side, and thatâs pretty much where it did its entire number is my left arm and my left ankle, said Horton. âIt kind of fell on top of me and I was able to have my little brother to help push it off of me, and it actually it chipped a couple of pieced off on my elbow as well.â
