Texarkana girl, 10, drowns in Oklahoma river

-

The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says a 10-yearold Texas girl drowned in the Red River in southeaste­rn Oklahoma.

An OHP report says the girl from Texarkana was not wearing a personal flotation device while wading in the river south of Idabel around 6 p.m. Saturday.

The report says she apparently slipped, went underwater and never resurfaced.

Her body was found about three hours later more than 200 feet from where she disappeare­d.

The girl’s name has not been released.
