SCHERTZ — Search teams on Sunday found the body of a teenager who was swept away by floodwaters as he tried to swim across a swollen creek near San Antonio, authorities said.
Avron Adams, 18, of Schertz, and a friend got caught Saturday in the swift waters of Cibolo Creek after about half a dozen friends swam across. One friend held onto a tree branch and got out, but Adams did not, officials said.
David Harris, a spokesman for Schertz, said about 5:45 p.m. searchers found Adams’ body near the water’s edge. Harris said Adams’ family has been notified.
