An 18-year-old woman has drowned in a northwestern Minnesota lake after pulling several children from turbulent water, authorities said.
A group of children had been swimming Monday in a river near a dam on Clearwater Lake in Sinclair Township when some of them were caught in churning water that was coming over the dam, witnesses told Clearwater County sheriff's deputies.
The water level at the dam was high due to a large amount of recent rain, officials said.
