WATER RESCUE IN BIRMINGHAM

At least one person is reported missing with a second person rescued after a boating accident in the Brandywine Creek.

At around 14:10, WCFD and Birmingham Police, among other agencies, were dispatched to the Brandywine Picnic Park off of Route 52 near the East Bradford/Birmingham border for a report of a water rescue. Two victims had reportedly fallen out of a boat near the picnic park and into the Brandywine Creek. At least one of the victims was rescued out of the river; the second victim had not been located after nearly an hour of searching. At that point, according to preliminary information, the assignment progressed from a water rescue into a water recovery.

There is no further information regarding either of the two victims. More information should become available if and when it becomes available.
