Three people died Saturday when a region of Southeastern Pennsylvania was hit by powerful flash flooding, authorities said.
The three weather-related deaths, two females and a male, occurred in Upper Makefield Township, the Bucks County Coroner's Office confirmed. Upper Makefield is located about 35 miles northeast of Philadelphia.
CBS News Philadelphia learned the victims were all adults who were found outside their car in water that was five-feet high.
