A five-year-old boy has died after becoming trapped in a car that was swept away by floodwaters in central western New South Wales (NSW) in eastern Australia.
Two vehicles, including a Toyota Hilux, became trapped in floodwaters at Tullamore, northwest of Parkes, on Friday night.
Emergency services used a boat to rescue four people from the Hilux who were found clinging to trees, including a 37-year-old man, a 28-year-old woman, and a young boy and girl.
However, the five-year-old boy was still trapped in the car when it was swept away.
NSW Police officers started searching on Saturday for the Hilux and the boy’s body was found by police divers at about 3.20 pm in the submerged car….
