Six-year-old boy missing after flooding in Utah

One body remained missing late Wednesday. Search teams were still looking for a missing 6-year-old boy. It is believed to be the worst weather-related disaster in Utah history.

Officials say the bodies of two people were recovered in Arizona, about 2 1/2 miles downstream. One is missing. The terrain will change with flash flooding, with weather, with winter. The victims are from California and Nevada.

A group of three other canyoneers passed the victims inside the canyon.

Search and rescue teams continued search for the final missing person more than 48 hours after floods tore through Hildale, Utah, and Colorado City. But the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department in Southern California said one of the dead is Sgt. Steve Arthur. The body of his wife, Linda Arthur, was found in a technical portion of Pine Creek Canyon Thursday morning.

Steve Arthur and his wife, Linda, were hiking Monday when a series of flash floods hit Zion.

“Steve was known for his tireless efforts working with local youth both on and off duty and possessed a huge compassion for humanity”, the department said in a statement.

It’s also far from Zion National Park, where seven hikers died in yet another flash flood.

Flash floods swept through the Arizona-Utah border towns of Colorado City and Hildale.

They were “caught unawares” by the water that suddenly surged around them, ultimately causing the ground beneath them to give way, he said.

Cox said the boy was about 9 or 10 years old and lost his mother and several siblings, who were also in the cars.

The vehicles were found about a quarter-mile downstream from where the flooding crossed the road.

“This is the biggest flood we have ever seen”. The children ranged in age from 5 to 11.
