BRUNSWICK COUNTY, N.C. (WGHP) — A teenage girl from Winston-Salem drowned in a rip current while visiting Ocean Isle Beach on Sunday afternoon.

FOX8 is told she was a student at Reynolds High School and was with the school’s robotics team.

Two other students were also caught in the rip current with her. They were rescued.

The Winston-Salem teen was unresponsive when rescuers got to her, and they could not revive her.

“I am heartbroken by this tragic news,” Superintendent Tricia McManus said. “I want the family, and our Reynolds students and staff to know that our district will provide any support they need at this incredibly difficult time. Our prayers are with all of you, and we mourn this loss with you.”
