2 young children die after being swept away by fast
MOUNTAIN HOME VILLAGE, Calif. (AP) — Two young siblings died after being swept away by a rapidly flowing creek in Southern California’s San Bernardino Mountains, authorities said.
The tragedy occurred Tuesday when a mother took her 4-year-old daughter and 2-year-old son to spend the afternoon at Thurman Flat picnic area on Highway 38 near Mill Creek, the San Bernardino Count Sheriff’s Department said in a news release.
They were playing along the creek when at one point the mother was attending to her son and her daughter was taken downstream, the department said.
“The mother searched for her but could not locate her,” the department said. “When she returned, her son was missing and assumed to be down river as well.”
The mother frantically searched for both children and then hiked up to the picnic area and asked another family to help search, an effort that was unsuccessful.
