Tragedy struck near Rainbow Lake Trail in Signal Mountain, Tennessee, on Sunday when a 23-year-old woman and a 20-year-old man lost their lives in a drowning incident. The Signal Mountain Police Department received a distressing 911 call around 7:13 p.m. reporting that the pair had gone underwater in a creek near the hiking trail.
Upon arrival, first responders were met by a woman who had been part of a group of three to four individuals hiking along the trail. The group had reached a large creek where one of the women attempted to cross but tragically fell into a deep section, submerging underwater. In a brave attempt to save her, a man from the group jumped in after her, but unfortunately, neither of them resurfaced.
