A Florida family with 3 young children was trapped by flash flooding in Snow Canyon State Park Wednesday afternoon.
IVINS, Washington County – A Florida family with three young children was trapped by flash flooding in Snow Canyon State Park Wednesday afternoon after a dry wash quickly turned into a raging river.
Ballantyne describes the rescue as daring and complicated and also a race against time because of the rain, cold temperatures and rising waters. "Anyone that went over that falls, it was certain death," he said. "So we were well aware of that danger." Rushton said the family did everything right by waiting for help because the rushing waters even knocked him and one other rescuer off their feet as they crossed the swift rapids.
"The team pulled me across and brought me the 4-year-old female," Ballantyne explained. "She was really cold, shivering and really nervous."
