A 13-year-old girl in England went missing after falling from a dam wall while taking photos. The incident occurred in front of her father's eyes.



The father and daughter had gone to their favorite scenic spot on Wednesday to celebrate the start of the school holiday. However, this beautiful day ended in tragedy.



Today, search operations continue at the 160-meter-high Baltings Dam. The girl's uncle recounted the incident that took place at this dam near Ripponden.



The uncle, a taxi driver who wished to remain anonymous, said: "This is really very tragic. My 13-year-old niece was just taking photos when she fell into the water below the dam wall. I think she hit her head while falling."



The dam wall is 60-70 meters high above the water level. Due to recent weather conditions, the water level is quite low.



The uncle continued: "They used to come here often as a family. Normally, the mother, father, and all the children would come together. Just last week, they had a nice walk here as a family. As soon as I heard she had fallen into the water, I ran to see if I could help with the search efforts."



The police deployed a drone and sent three boats. The search operations were halted on Wednesday evening at 19:30.



The area was cordoned off, and more boats were brought in today to resume the search. However, bad weather conditions are making the operations difficult. According to locals, the wind is making the water very choppy.



The uncle added: "She had come just with her father to celebrate the start of the school holiday. She was a very lovely girl - very kind and caring. We felt very helpless not being able to participate in the search efforts, but there was a police cordon."



Warning signs saying "Cold Water Kills" and "Swimming Prohibited" are located near the site of the tragedy.



A meticulous forensic investigation was launched last night to determine the cause of the tragedy.
