SPANISH FORK — An 11 year old girl was flown to the hospital this morning after police say she was thrown from her horse in the county fairgrounds.

Police Lt. Matt Johnson said the girl was competing in a 4H event at the arena when her horse reared and rolled on her.

The girl was conscious and crying when medics arrived, but Johnson said they decided to fly her to the Utah Valley Hospital just in case she sustained head trauma.
