Just after 630, Central Montgomery County Fire Department was dispatched to a swift water rescue in the back of the Magnolia Bend Subdivision off FM 1314 just south of Conroe. When they arrived on the scene they learned an 18-year-old male and female had gone swimming. Both got stuck in the extreme current. The female was able to get out of the water safely, However, she stated the male was struggling, he went down, came up, and went down again. Crews from Caney Creek, MCHD, Needham, and South Montgomery County Fire Department responded to the scene. A boat was put into the water but was quickly removed due to the extreme current. A DPS helicopter also assisted but was unable to locate anyone. The search has been called off for tonight and will resume tomorrow.
