Saturday’s rains created a dangerous condition in Lowries Run Creek, and resulted in a Kilbuck Township boy having to be rescued from the rapidly moving waters on Sunday.

Ohio Township Police, NorthWest EMS and Emsworth Volunteer Fire Company responded Sunday afternoon to a report that a 17-year-old was under water in the creek behind his Kilbuck home.

Police say that Justin Singer’s mother was able to get him out of the water and onto the far creek bank. Firefighters set up rescue lines to get him back to the Camp Horne Road side of the creek.

He was transported to Allegheny General Hospital.
