An 8-year-old girl remains missing following a Christmas Eve crash that killed her father, Texas authorities say. The Sherman Police Department said a vehicle left US-75 the morning of Dec. 24 and got caught in a drainage ditch, according to a Facebook post. The vehicle then traveled down a creek.

A low pressure system will move across the middle of the country and interact with deep Gulf moisture, setting the state for rainfall.

News outlets report that the missing girl's father, Will Robinson, was a coach for the Durant High School Lady Lions basketball team.

Sherman Police say an SUV carrying 6 people was traveling from Oklahoma to McKinney when it crashed on the morning of Christmas Eve. An 8-year-old girl in the car has been missing since.

A search for a missing 8-year-old girl is underway after a vehicle traveling from Oklahoma to Texas crashed into a flooded drainage ditch on Christmas Eve in Sherman, killing one.

Lieutenant Samuel Boyle said the vehicle left the road and got caught in a drainage ditch. He said the dangers escalated as rain poured down in the area.
