'It definitely could have gone bad.' Police warn people to stay away from high, swift waters after teen kayakers had a close call on Spanish Fork River.
SPANISH FORK — There has been no shortage of warnings this spring about rivers and creeks that are running fast and high, yet police said Tuesday provided the latest example of people continuing to put themselves in harm's way.
Slaymaker said law enforcement eventually found and accounted for the four teens by the time they were safely out of the river, but they learned the journey had plenty of room for potential peril. "It definitely could have gone bad and, you know, there's not only the water but there's a lot of debris," Slaymaker said.Slaymaker said the city had placed signs along the trail next to the river warning of the possible hazard and noted that police had stepped up patrols along the river in some areas—particularly during after-school hours when many kids pass through on their way home.
