Event narrative (NOAA)

Two individuals were kayaking in a drainage creek that flows to Leona Creek. Around the time of heavy rain in Victoria County, both individuals were taken downstream into a pipe culvert by the force of the flowing water. The force of the rushing water pushed one individual through the pipe and other was lodged within the pipe. The individual lodged in the pipe was transported to a local hospital where they later died.
