SPRINGDALE (KFSM) -- Springdale police recovered the body of a 10-year-old girl Sunday (April 30) after she was swept away in a flooded creek, according to a news release.

The girl and her 9-year-old brother had climbed a fence in their backyard about 8 p.m. on Saturday (April 29), when the girl fell into a flooded creek behind their home on Ponchartrain Street, the release said.

The girl's body was found near Randall and Lowell roads, which is south of the creek she fell into, according to the release.
