SPRINGDALE, Utah — The family of the hiker who went missing after flash floods hit Utah's Zion National Park is hoping their loved one is found safely, as the National Park Service joined in search and rescue efforts on Monday.
NPS is assisting the Washington County Sheriff's Office and Zion's rescue team as they search parts of the Virgin River, located south of the park, for Jetal Agnihotri of Tucson, Arizona, the park said in a press release Monday.
One hiker was sent to the hospital, while rangers found several hikers isolated near Riverside Walk due to high flood water, NPS said. "We don't know what she's going through, where she is," her brother, Pujan Agnihotri, told Salt Lake City ABC affiliate KTVX.
