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.

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!

Your news station should really put more thought in to the words you choose for a story. Surely you know that the family of the victim of the drowning incident in Milton will see what you air. You said, " she broke the rules "when she chose to try to make it to dry land. Maybe I'm the only one who thinks that your words were insensitive, but that girl was surely terrified and just wanted to get out of the water before her car was swept away. Think about the grieving families when you choose your words.
