Event narrative (NOAA)
Locally heavy rainfall resulted in the flooding of portions of several county roads. A vehicle was driven into a flooded low water crossing west of Stilwell, where it was washed downstream. Four people were inside the vehicle at the time. A 14-year old boy and a 9-year old girl in the vehicle were taken to the hospital, treated, and released. A 6-year old girl was drowned in the vehicle. A 43-year old man was also drowned, and was recovered eleven miles downstream, two days after the incident.
