Idaho State Police said an Orem woman died Friday night at Ogden's McKay-Dee Hospital after being run over by a truck on a Bear Lake beach earlier in the day.

Michele Pereira was one of five people injured when another Orem woman, Melissa Peterson, accidentally hit the gas instead of the brake of her truck while backing-up to an awning at a North Shore beach camping site, near St. Charles, Idaho.

A 1-year-old infant sustained injuries serious enough to warrant a helicopter transfer from the scene to Salt Lake's Primary Children's Hospital, though police had no details of the child's condition on Saturday. Another victim, Nicole Pereira March of Springville, was treated Friday at Bear Lake Hospital in Montpelier and two others, Carlos Pereira and Chantal Pereira, both from Orem, were treated and released.

Police said they believe the victims of the accident are related, but could not identify the parents of the infant.
