Fishermen saw the Baxter family’s SUV parked on the north side of the Tempe Town Lake with its headlights on. Glenn Edward Baxter drove the SUV into the water just after midnight. His wife, Danica, their two sons, Reighn and Nazyiah, and their daughter, Zariyah, were buckled into their seats.
Police arrived around 12:15 a.m. and pulled the two youngest children, ages 1 and 2, and the parents from the water. Emergency responders administered CPR, but the parents and children would later be pronounced dead.
It wasn’t until 10 a.m. the next day that police realized there was a third child, age 3, still in the vehicle.
Glenn Edward Baxter, 27, Danica Baxter, 25, Reighn Baxter, 3, Nazyiah Baxter, 2 and Zariyah Baxter, 1, all died.
英文原文： LOS ANGELES — Hundreds of motorists were stranded on Thursday as Southern California was battered by a severe thunderstorm that brought torrential rains and powerful winds.
CBS reports that State Route 58 along California’s Tehachapi Pass was hit with several inches of rain and hail the size of golf balls Thursday afternoon. Within about twenty minutes of intense showers, the road began to flood. Drivers describe seeing vehicles floating in the water and being pushed into each other before a river of mud, rocks and debris came flowing down, engulfing some two hundred vehicles in several feet of mud.
According to the Los Angeles Times, some motorists abandoned their cars in the ensuing chaos, though others stayed with their vehicles until rescuers came hours later.
The mud flow was likely caused by a lack of vegetation holding down soil, leading to rocks and sediments falling into water channels and being swept down the mountainside by torrential rains.
A total of one hundred ninety-two vehicles were trapped in mud on the highway, including one hundred fifteen passenger cars, seventy-five semis, and two tour buses, reports ABC 7. Highway 58 is still closed as rescuers continue to excavate the mud.
A flash flood warning remains in effect in several areas of Los Angeles County as the National Weather Service says that rain could continue to fall until Saturday.
