Baytown woman saves boy from drowning at New Braunfels river
A Baytown native saved a Houston boy from drowning while vacationing at the Comal River in New Braunfels on June 25. Surrounded by family and friends at Landa Falls Park, the woman dove into swift water after a non-swimmer cousin trio, aiding a panicking boy until help arrived, then urged him to wear a life jacket on a future swim.
