Two Children Swept Away in Closed California River, 8-Year-Old Dead and 4-Year-Old Missing

An 8-year-old girl died and a 4-year-old boy is missing after being swept away in a California river that was closed to recreational users.
The children entered the water with their mother and another adult while trying to climb on a rock.
Authorities have warned people to exercise caution along rivers due to dangerous conditions from recent storms and melting snow.
The search for the missing 4-year-old boy is ongoing.
The river will remain closed until water levels decrease and conditions are safer.
