First responders had to “race against the rising tide” as they worked to rescue a teenager who died when a sand hole on the Jersey Shore collapsed and “completely submerged” him, according to fire officials and live audio.Fire officials said the depth of the 10-foot hole — dug by 18-year-old Levi Caverly and his 17-year-old sister at Toms River’s Ocean Beach 3 Tuesday— along with wet weather caused a “heartbreaking” accident and difficult rescue conditions.“Two people buried in the sand,” a first responder can be heard saying via live radio, as rescuers rushed to the tragic scene.
