A mother on vacation with her family in North Wildwood, New Jersey, has drowned after trying to save her three children from rough waters.
The family’s Sept. 29 beach trip turned into a tragedy around 3 p.m., according to a City of Wildwood Fire Department press release. The 49-year-old woman, who was not identified, noticed that her three kids, 8, 10, and 19, were struggling “in the breakers” at the 18th Avenue beach.
