A little girl’s life was thrust into peril when rainstorms caused a creek to swell in Jackson City Park, Missouri. Luckily, four brave young swimmers who were nearby saw the danger and came to her rescue.
On May 17, 2020, downpours caused elevated water levels at Hubble Creek, near a low bridge where children habitually paddle and play, KFVS reported. On this particular afternoon, the surge of rainwater posed a greater risk for weaker swimmers, as under the bridge, an open underwater culvert had created a suction strong enough to pull and trap a swimmer.
