A 12-year-old Montgomery County boy has died of injuries suffered in a sledding accident at a ski resort in north-central Pennsylvania.

Potter County Coroner Kevin Dusenbury says Ian Miller, of Pottstown, was hurt when his plastic, saucer-shaped sled hit a metal ski lift tower shortly after 11 p.m. Friday.

Miller was with a Boy Scout group, whose member provided first aid before the boy was taken to Charles Cole Memorial Hospital in Coudersport. He died shortly after 1 a.m. Saturday.

Miller's death is the second fatality in slightly more than a year at the Ski Denton resort about 140 miles northeast of Pittsburgh.

On Jan. 5, 2009, 13-year-old Patrick Shire, of Haymarket, Va., was killed in a skiing accident.
