Upland, CA - Yesterday morning, just after 10am, officers were on an enforcement stop in the 1200 block of E. 8th Street when they were alerted to a man who was drowning in the nearby flood control basin.

Officers immediately downed their gear to an officer who remained on land and entered the water. Officers were able to pull the adult male victim to shore and immediately started CPR.

Once San Bernardino County Fire and AMR arrived on scene, the male was rushed to the hospital, where doctors continued life-saving measures. Despite all efforts, the male passed away about an hour after being rescued.

This tragedy serves as a stark reminder to stay away from flood control basins. No matter what season, there may be water flowing and dangerous currents.
