The occupants of the two vehicles were swept into St. Hedwig's Martinez Creek on the outskirts of San Antonio at approximately 6:30 a.m. CDT.
Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar said that they were members of the same extended family.
One of the vehicles was driven by a man with two boys and a 5-year-old girl as passengers. A 52-year-old woman was driving two boys and all were reportedly on their way to Tradition Elementary School at the time.

The man and the four boys were rescued. Officials worked Friday to recover the woman's body and a diver confirmed that while the woman's body was in the vehicle, it had moved and was now more than 10 feet underwater.
"There’s nothing more heartbreaking than to see the body of a 5-year-old pulled out of a car," Salazar told The Associated Press. "She was still wearing her backpack ... it just doesn’t get any worse than that."
