Sunday afternoon, four strangers leapt into action after a four year old boy was swept down river at the North Fork County Park reaction area in east Marion County.
The boy who was standing with his father and siblings next to the water's edge, ended up in the river after his father looked away for only a few moments. The water quickly took the boy from the upper pool through the rapids and into the lower pool.
That's when two men, Jason McDade and Christian Lozano, jumped into action pulling the boy from the water.
On the beach certified nursing assistant Kelda Klukis and registered nurse Maryela Lozano began CPR, because the boy was unconscious. When paramedics arrived the boy was again breathing and he was transported to Santiam Hospital where he is expected to make a full recovery.
The child was not wearing a life vest at the time of the accident.
