Search continues for child after mother’s body recovered in Highway 64 flood crash; 2 others rescued

The body of a mother has been recovered after a car was swept away by floodwaters Sunday afternoon near a creek around 17700 E. Highway 64, according to the Tulsa County Sheriff's Office.

Two people were rescued from the vehicle, while the mother's 7-year-old daughter, who was also inside, remains missing.

Authorities said approximately 100 emergency responders are continuing the search effort for the child. They said the minor was wearing green.

In a statement, TCSO said:

Rescue crews are currently searching flood waters along Highway 64 south of Leonard after a family's vehicle was swept away.

Officials say the car attempted to cross over a low bridge, but the water level was too high, resulting in the car being submerged.

Multiple agencies have responded to the incident, and searchers say they remain hopeful they will find both.

TCSO Captain Michael Heisten stressed the importance of turning around when there's water in the roadway.

"We're coming into a rainy season. We've had a significant amount of rainfall in the last few days. And I can't stress enough that if there's water in the roadway, please turn around. We want everybody to get home to their families safely," Heisten said.
