Event narrative (NOAA)
Well after rain had ended, Castille Creek was high enough to cover the road at County Line road. The vehicle entered the flooded waters and was swept off the road into a nearby field, where one occupant drowned. Three others were able to get out of the vehicle or be rescued. The time of this occurrence was taken from news reports.
