A preliminary investigation by the SCSO indicated that the child was staying with his family in a camping trailer near a cabin in the Manor Lands.
Approximately one hour after the initial report, a civilian located the child unresponsive on the side of the highway approximately one mile away from the campsite at 11:15 a.m.
The boy was transported by an ambulance to a hospital in Wyoming and later transferred to a hospital in Salt Lake, where he was pronounced deceased.
The SCSO noted there is no indication that the incident is anything more than a tragedy, although the investigation is still active.
