Tragic reports have confirmed the death of a 2-year-old child who was separated from his dad during the floods that took place in California.

At about 7:14 pm local time, the cops and fire department responded to reports about Brandon Padilla Aguilera, and his son Xavier who was separated.

The duo was trying hard to cross a flooded area of a road on Main Street when their vehicle was swept off the roadway by floodwaters.

An image was shared by the cops that showed the hood of the vehicle that was carrying the dad and son, submerged in floodwaters after getting swept away.

Brandon was driving back home with his son after attending his grandmother’s funeral and that’s when they were swept away, his mother shared with ABC News.
