Video: Rescuers Arriving to Help Drowning Boy

A 12-year-old boy remains in critical condition at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia after he was pulled into an underground culvert from a rushing creek in South Wayne on Monday.

According to Radnor Township Police superintendent William A. Colarulo, the boy and two friends were attempting to use swimming pool rafts in the creek in the 300 block of Saint David’s Road.

Creeks wind throughout the South Wayne neighborhood, in some areas turning into underground culverts. The boy was rescued about a block away from where he disappeared from friends.

CPR was administered and he was transported first to Bryn Mawr Hospital and later to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Colarulo said.

The National Weather Service warned of flood conditions Monday afternoon and that's what happened that evening as a torrential rainstorm hit the Main Line.

According to , Public Works crews were out cleaning trouble areas as the flooding began to subside. Upland Way near the intersection of Louella Avenue was closed, according to the township web site.

The township asked that flooding concerns be reported by calling 610-688-5600.
