MAYFIELD, KENTUCKY (BNO NEWS) -- The bodies of three Amish children were found early Friday morning a few miles from where they were crossing a low water stream in Kentucky, and one remains missing, local media reported.

The incident occurred in Graves County, located in the southwestern region of Kentucky, when according to local authorities, 9 people from two families were crossing a low water stream on Roscoe Road just west of the Dublin community at around 8:30 p.m. local time, KFVS reported.

During the crossing, high waters swept away the children, who were aboard a horse-drawn buggy. Authorities have not released any further details or the names of the children.

However, the children are said to be aged from 5 months to 11 years old. The Graves County sheriff said the 11-year-old child remains missing.

The bodies were found in Hickman County, a few miles from where the incident occurred.

As the search for the missing child continues, flood waters have begun receding as rainfall in the area came to a stop.
