Grand Canyon National Park officials identified a 29-year-old Michigan woman as the person found dead after a flash flood swept through a commercial rafting group’s overnight camp site Wednesday evening.
This photo provided by John Dillon shows the effects of flooding in the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon on Thursday, July 15, 2021. The river that's normally a greenish color turned a muddy brown from flash floods that have inundated Arizona. Authorities are searching for two people who were on a river rafting trip through the Grand Canyon and went missing after a flash flood, a park spokeswoman said Thursday.
Rebecca Copeland, 29, of Ann Arbor, was found Thursday near the camp washed away Wednesday evening by a torrent of water that rushed through a slot canyon, park officials said in a statement. Five injured people, including one in critical condition, were evacuated by air from the canyon, the statement said. Their identities weren’t released.
Forecasters had issued a flash flood watch for the area Wednesday, but it wasn’t clear whether the rafting guides were aware.
