A woman is dead after trying to drive through a flooded street in Cabell County.
The Cabell County Sheriff says the victim is 20-year old Kristen H. Kuhn. Deputies say she is currently living in Huntington, but is from Fraziers Bottom in Mason County.
It happened around 12:30 a.m. Monday on John's Creek Road in Milton.
According to the Milton Volunteer Fire Department, Kuhn's car stalled after she tried to drive through high water.
They say once she realized she was stuck, she got out of the car and tried to walk through the water.
That's when the current swept her away.
Firefighters found her body about a quarter-mile down the creek, against a culvert.
Chief Brent Taylor tells us she was alive, but unresponsive when they reached her. They performed C.P.R. on her.
She was then transported to the hospital where she later died.

My cousin was absolutely NOT just being stupid. Do you think she decided to drown just for fun? You reporters need to know how hurtful your words can be. you convinced half the people watching your news show, that she was foolishly driving and that it should be a lesson. No one has ever been more wrong. She was a wonderful, beutiful, strong, and caring woman who, if you put yourself in her shoes, will find that your the one who needs to learn a lesson. She was terrified out of her mind, and tried her hardest to find a way out of the whole mess. She never should have died, for nobody deserves to, especially not her. I miss her a whole bunch. I wish I could resurrect my dear cousin. I pray for her and her closest family. We all really miss you Kris.
i think it is bad a woman had to lose her life pray for her family.
Kristen will always be in my thoughts and my prayers and will forever be my little sister. I was so hurt to hear of this happening and so angry of how the media was so insenitive. I wish I could have seen or even just talked to her one last time but I know she will always be with me. Kristen was such a free spirited, fun, and beautiful girl that will always be remembered by so many and it is so sad how this has happened but she is now with our great God and looking over all of us. I am praying for my family and I LOVE YOU KRISTEN!
