PASSAIC — After searching for several hours, the body of a boy who was pulled into the turbulent water of the Passaic River was found late Wednesday night while the search continued for a second child.
Mayor Hector Lora said a 10-year-old boy and girl and an 11-year-old girl fell into the rough river inside Dundee Island Park around 6 p.m.
The 11-year-old girl made it out while a search continued for her brother and the other girl.
A search continued for the 10-year-old girl on land and along the riverbanks during the night, with divers expected to resume their search Thursday morning.
"The Passaic River at Passaic, specifically, was running about 2 feet above baseline water levels on Thursday — not quite in flood stage, but definitely deep," Zarrow noted.
