Family Rescued from Black Creek
by Cristina Domingues/S. Freligh
Published Sep 11, 2004
A woman and her two children were swept away in Black Creek in Churchville Saturday afternoon.
The family was canoeing down the creek when the craft tipped over.
They held onto a tree until rescuers could reach them.
Rescuers said they had a hard time with the fast moving water.
"Once they got in the water, they got caught up in the current,” said Churchville fire chief Scott Flagler. “So we had to get them
back over to the victims, and it took a lot out of them. We had to rehydrate them and check their vitals to make sure they're ok
before they leave."
Authorities remind us that no one should be in the creek that's now eight feet over flood level.
The family was taken to Strong Hospital. Rescuers say they were treated for hypothermia.
