A 13-year-old boy drowned in Mt. Airy, Maryland on Thursday after being swept into a drainage pipe during a sudden rainstorm.

The child, who lived nearby, was caught in strong floodwaters near an apartment complex and pulled into an overflowing storm drain.

Emergency crews recovered his body from the drain, which had rapidly filled due to torrential rain.
