OLIVEHURST, California (KCRA) — A woman nearly drowned while trying to save her children at Grays Beach over the weekend, the Yuba County Sheriff’s Office said.

The woman’s children were starting to float away on a raft when she intervened Saturday night around 8 p.m., the sheriff’s office said.

The woman’s brother pulled her to safety just as deputies arrived.

Deputies then began to start CPR. She regained consciousness and was taken to the hospital. Her condition was unclear.
