Five-year-old boy dies in NSW floodwaters

New South Wales Police have located the body of a five-year-old boy, after being trapped inside a car submerged in floodwaters in western NSW.

Police divers located the boy's body in the car yesterday afternoon and authorities were called to McGrane Way near Tullamore, where a late night salvage operation took place on Friday night.

Four other people were rescued and taken to Dubbo Hospital, including a man in his 30's, a woman in her 20's, and two children.

The car has since been retrieved, and an investigation into the incident is underway.

I reckon the person who drove the car into the water, resulting in the boys death, should be charged accordingly.
We see this same scenario play out every time a river floods. foolish people ignoring the obvious danger of driving across a flooded causeway.
