Community members were trying to pull Dana out of the water after “she got stuck against the flow control structure,” ACSO said. Crews from FPD and the Fremont Fire Department then came in for life-saving measures.

Dana was rescued from the creek, and crews were able to get her out of the water. However, Dana was “rushed” to Washington Hospital where she later died, according to ACSO.
