“It’s hard to process,” said the dad of a boy who got swept away in California flooding while his mom drove him to school. “My wife is getting better, but the way things played out, she’s struggling. We all are.”
Monday started much like any other day for Brian and Lindsy Doan. It would turn into a nightmare as their 5-year-old son, Kyle, got swept away in raging flood waters while his mom drove him to school.
As they headed to Lillian Larsen Elementary School in San Miguel, California, that morning, their car hit a dip in the road and began to drift into the torrent that breached the banks of San Marcos Creek. Although law enforcement officials said Wednesday the search for Kyle was still considered a rescue operation, it did not ease the family’s sense of loss.This content is not available due to your privacy preferences.The family had driven through the intersection countless times, including the previous night. Neither Lindsy nor Brian suspected they would need to alter their daily commute during a rainstorm.
The youngest of three kids, Kyle is the classic little brother: fun, social and often the center of attention, his father said, describing him as high-energy.Kyle enjoys playing soccer and watching “PAW Patrol,” Brian added. In November, doctors removed a rod from his left leg following a femur fracture the previous year, and Kyle couldn’t wait to make a full recovery.
