Three teenagers have drowned in just one day.

According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the teenager went underwater just after 5:30 Saturday evening and never resurfaced.

She was pronounced dead about 30 minutes later.

This is an addition to two other teenage boys–ages 17 and 18–who drowned around 8 p.m. Saturday.

According to the Missouri Highway State Patrol, both boys were in the beach area of Castlewood State Park at the Meramac River.
