PRINCE GEORGE COUNTY, Va. (WTVR)—At 4:45 p.m. on Tuesday afternoon, Prince George County fire officials responded to a call for a juvenile who slipped into water and did not resurface, at the Vulcan Rock Quarry
Family of the missing 12-year-old identified the boy as Clacy Sullivan, a sixth grader at J.E.J. Moore Middle School in Prince George.
Officials said that Sullivan was playing with two juveniles, ages 12 and 13, near the water on private property, when he fell in and did not resurface. The water is 16-feet deep and the water temperature at the time of the incident was 45 degrees, officials said.
Sullivan resides in the nearby Riverdale mobile park home. His grandmother said that a dirt path leads from the trailer park to the quarry and that kids often walk or ride bikes over to the quarry.
