Horror as girl, 11, drowns after jumping off bridge for a dare

An 11-year-old girl who drowned in a pond behind her school is thought to have jumped off a bridge after being dared by her classmates.

Jordan Oliver was overheard telling friends she couldn't swim shortly before she leapt into the water in what was believed to be a game of 'bridge jumping', it has been claimed.

The youngster had already jumped from the bridge once and had managed to pull herself to safety.

However, on her second attempt witnesses saw her first resurface before disappearing under the water, it has been reported.

Her lifeless body was pulled from the 12-foot deep pond in Bolingbrook, Illinois, about an hour after emergency services arrived, police said.
