10-Year-Old Boy Drowns in New Jersey River, Sister Lives, and Another Child Is Missing
Crews are searching for two 10-year-olds after an 11-year-old girl got out safely, officials said.
- On Wednesday evening, a 10-year-old boy died and a 10-year-old girl went missing after three children fell into the Passaic River near Pulaski Park in Passaic, New Jersey.
- Passaic Mayor Hector Lora reported that the Passaic River's water levels were higher than usual following Tuesday's heavy storms, though authorities have not yet determined how the children entered the water.
- The 11-year-old survivor credited her brother for pushing her toward rocks before he went under; a bystander attempted rescue but could not reach the children due to the river's depth and current.
- More than two dozen marine units from multiple agencies converged on the scene, utilizing boats and drones to search for the missing 10-year-old girl throughout Wednesday night.
- First responders and community members continue the recovery operation on land and in the river Thursday morning, following overnight search efforts that persisted into the night.
