A 12-year-old girl drowned on Thursday as she helped an old woman cross the road during a heavy downpour in Dazhou City, in southwest China’s Sichuan Province, West China Metropolis Daily reported.

She was crossing the road with the old woman hand in hand around 5pm. Both were knocked down by a rush of water when they were about two meters from the roadside. 
 
The old woman was swept to the roadside while the girl was washed underneath a black car. 

The old woman was rescued by passers-by as she called for help. The girl, who became trapped under the car, had already drowned by the time she was found by traffic police half-an-hour later.

The girl was a sixth-grade student at an experimental primary school in the city’s Dachuan District. She died about 200 meters from her home, local media said.
