One body found in low water crossing incident on RR 187 near Sabinal.

 At approximately 12:17 p.m., the person whom first responders were searching for was located and pronounced deceased by Uvalde County Justice of the Peace Ernie Moore. The identity of the person is not being released until next of kin has been notified.

First Responders believe the individual was by himself at the time of the incident. Out of an abundance of caution, the river will continue being searched.

  R.R. 187 South will continue to remain closed due to water on the roadway.

We would like to recognize all the agencies who have and will continue working on the incident.
