12-year-old St. Louis girl passed away after being swept away by floodwaters following birthday party
A 12-year-old girl is died after being swept away by flash flooding in St. Louis according to WCAX 3. Family of Aaleya Carter’s identified her and stated her mother, who was driving, her brother and sister were in their car when it was swept off the road last Saturday morning by floodwater. While they tried to escape, Carter was swept into a storm drain with her body was later found in a creek.
The story was compounded by the fact that the Carters were on the way home from celebrating her birthday with a trip to a movie theater.
“Instead of them being able to get out on the driver’s side, they had to get out on the passenger’s side. I guess they didn’t know they were on top of the drainage ditch, and when she got out, she slid right inside the drainage,” Tonya Carter, Aaleya’s grandmother, told KSDK.
“The water, I was told by witnesses, got up to two (feet) over the interstate,” according to Missouri State Highway Patrol Cpl. Juston Wheetley. “Some vehicles,” he told Fox 2, “traveling and trying to navigate the water became disabled on the interstate.”
