CLEVELAND , Ohio - Emergency crews pulled a 11-year-old in unknown condition from Lake Erie at Euclid Beach Park Saturday afternoon.
According to Cleveland Metroparks, the child was outside of the swim area when pulled from the water. Jordan Lee was at Euclid Beach and says she tried to warn the child to be careful, “I saw him. He was going too deep. and then he went past the rocks. I kept screaming at him telling him to come back towards the shore. But he looked at me nasty and turned back and kept swimming. I guess that’s when he got sucked under by the current.
According to Cleveland EMS, the ambulance arrived on scene and broke down while attempting to take the victim to the hospital.But beachgoers who frequent the park tell 19 News, the major issue is that children are swimming in restricted areas, where there are no lifeguards.The status of the individual is not known at this time. We will release more information as it becomes available.Editor’s Note: This article previously stated the incorrect age of the victim, as reported by officials.
