Authorities say two teenagers died when the vehicle they were in was swept away as they tried to cross a rain-swollen creek in Northern California.
The bodies of Darian Powner and his girlfriend, Tristan Mitchell, were found Monday around the Shasta County city of Shingletown. Shingletown is about 150 miles north of Sacramento.
The Record Searchlight of Redding reports the 19-year-olds had been missing since Saturday night after leaving the home of family friends they had visited for dinner. They were in a Ford Focus when a heavy storm came through.
California Highway Patrol Officer Matt Clark says the car was swept away as it tried to cross a bridge over Lack Creek. It came to rest about a half-mile downstream.
The bodies were found a few hundred yards away.
