UVALDE COUNTY, Texas – A drowning was reported on Saturday afternoon on the Nueces River by Cooksey Dam, Uvalde County Sheriff Ruben Nolasco said in a Facebook post.
The sheriff said deputies were assisting the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department with the drowning.
In the post, Nolasco reminds residents to use caution when swimming in the Nueces River, warning that the waterway can be unpredictable.
“Currents, sudden changes in water level, and hidden hazards can make swimming more dangerous than it looks,” the sheriff said.
Additional information was not immediately available. KSAT has reached out to the Uvalde County Sheriff’s Office for more information.
