Multiple dive and water rescue teams were responding to a reported drowning in South Huntingdon Saturday evening, a Westmoreland County emergency dispatcher said.
Within the first half hour, there had not yet been confirmation of a drowning because of the remote location on the border of Westmoreland and Fayette counties near Scottdale, but the dispatcher said the report came from more than one source..State police would be responding but were not yet on scene, the dispatcher said.In May 2020, NaDarrius W. Lundy, 15, of McKeesport drowned in the creek, authorities said.
That drowning was almost two years after authorities said Dylan Knopsnider, 21, of the Connellsville area, died of asphyxiation from drowning after suffering a head injury when he went into the creek in 2018. His death was ruled an accident. The body of Joseph Gralewski, 22, of Yukon was found in late May 2011. State police said he didn’t resurface after jumping off a rope swing into the water at Creek Falls. Strong currents and high water had hindered search efforts.
