Two young siblings — an 11-year-old girl and her older brother — drowned in a Vermont river after the little girl fell in and her brother jumped in to save her, police said.

Sandro Lala, 25, jumped into the Lamoille River at Arrowhead Mountain Lake in the town of Georgia, about 20 miles north of Burlington, just before 8 p.m. on July 1, while trying to save his sister, Yazmin Yupangui, when she fell into the water, Vermont State Police said.
