Additional information has been released regarding the condition of two small children which were injured Friday afternoon, after going over Little River Falls near Ft Payne. Ten year old Alexia McGuire and her cousin, five year old Aubrey Hines, were reportedly walking back to the car and were crossing the creek to the parking area, when they both fell into the water. A family member said that the older of the two, pulled the five year old to the surface and swam to a large rock in the middle of the waterfall`s pool, until rescue teams could arrive on the scene. Alexia – a 5th grader at Gaylesville Elementary School, received only minor injuries and reportedly was treated and released from Dekalb Regional Medical Center later that same day.
