ROWLETT — Water search and rescue teams from Dallas and Garland who were looking for a young woman missing in Lake Ray Hubbard found a body Tuesday morning.
Police said the missing woman—believed to be in her late teens or early 20s—was with a group of friends who ignored warning signs and jumped about 20 feet from a train trestle into the reservoir at Rowlett Lakeside Park shortly after midnight.
Her friends called for help after she failed to surface.The name of the missing woman was not released.
Rescuers called off their nighttime search after three hours. Efforts were limited by heavy currents and limited visibility from overnight rains.
Divers, boats and a helicopter resumed the search at 7 a.m. They found a body about two hours later.
That is a pure shame I have no clue what she was thinking to jump off of a railroad trestle. I guess she wanted to get a sudden thrill rush. A simular thing happend in Philadelphia were a boy jumped off the trestle into the Schuylkill River. That’s sad
It is a common thing today for people to avoid crossing signals. Unfortunately, for some of those people that do not adhere to them, they end up injured or worse.[:(][:(][:(]
It may be true that most of these “accidents” are suicides. I don’t know for sure. However, there are far more people who go around crossing signals without ever thinking about suicide. The only thing they care about is getting to their destination on time.
The young women in this story probably falls into the category of trying to get to her destination in a hurry. This is only my opinion.
