Kaysville is still reeling over the death of an 8-year-old girl Macie Hill in an accident during the town’s Independence parade.
Her friends and relatives have extended their condolences to the grieving parents and family on social media.
Macie was one of the participants in the parade before the tragedy happened. However, Kaysville police have not commented on the details of the event. Hill was transported to a nearby hospital, and the parade immediately reneged.

Macie Hill was heavily injured after being hit by a Hummer vehicle while performing at the parade. Still, she couldn’t make it even though she was rushed to the hospital immediately after the accident.
She was performing with the Patriot Cheer team when struck by a large Hummer vehicle. The march was promptly terminated, and those present were instructed to leave.
One of the attendees at the parade, Shawna Dennis, who saw the whole incident happen in front of her eyes, was traumatized by accident. “immediately, like, I’m in shock, it was horrific, I’ve never seen anything like that in my life.” Shawna described to the police. She said Macie was lying on the ground, and the trailer ran over her.
But within a matter of minutes, after she was taken to the hospital, she was declared dead. It is very sad to witness such unfortunate events one after another during America’s Independence Day celebration. Before it, a guy called Robert Crimo was arrested as a possible suspect in the Highland shooting, in which six people were killed.
