A 6-year-old Culpeper girl drowned Saturday at a former quarry while on a trip with her family.
Dakota Hansen, daughter of Edward and Wendy Hansen, was found motionless in the water by another swimmer at Half Moon Beach, according to the Northern Virginia Daily newspaper.
It was the quarry’s second drowning in less than a month, prompting local police to close it for a safety evaluation.
Dira Hansen, 17, who ran track for Culpeper County High School and is an incoming freshman at Christopher Newport University, confirmed to the Daily that the victim was her sister.
Hansen said she heard of the drowning from her 15-year-old sister Shannon, who accompanied other family members to the quarry at 363 Radio Station Road. Her brothers Joey, 8, and Joshua, 2, as well as 6-year-old Cameron O’Sullivan, a foster brother, were there with her parents.
