Four children are dead and one is missing after a buggy carrying an Amish family was swept away in the current while trying to cross a low-water bridge, Kentucky police say.

Six people were in the horse and buggy that overturned on Wednesday in Bath County.

The adult in the buggy was able to make it to the bank of the stream and call for help, State Police said.

The four siblings were found and pronounced dead by a coroner's office Wednesday.

Kentucky State Police Trooper Scott Ferrell said authorities from various agencies were continuing to search on Thursday for the last missing child.

Missi Mosley and her boyfriend told WYMT-TV that they rushed to the scene on their ATV after hearing the call go out on the scanner.

"It was devastating," Mosley said. "The waters are so swift and the rain was pouring down. It was just a somber feeling."
