Trinity River
proves treacherous for family
A family of five was rescued from a tree in the Trinity River Sunday
evening. Reports say Jessi and Shillah Hightower, with their 3 small
children, were swimming at the Trinity River Plaza Subdivision. The
mother and 3 children were swept downstream by currents. They grabbed
on to a tree as they were swept past. The father swam out and returned
the youngest child to shore, then returned to the tree where he stayed
with the others until rescuers from the Kenefick Fire Department reached
them by boat. No one was seriously hurt. (By permission from KSHN)
