Aug. 1 (UPI) -- A 13-year old boy in Maryland died after being swept into a storm drainage pipe and drowned during a heavy rainstorm.
The teen was found at 5:30 p.m. EDT Thursday in Mt. Airy, Maryland. Firefighters said he lived in one of the apartments in the area.
The boy was playing in the water with some friends around 5 p.m., police said. The water rose quickly and moved fast. Authorities got multiple calls about a child in distress.
Chadwick Colson, who lives just feet from where the tragedy happened, described the emotional toll on people in the area.
