Grand Canyon flash flooding survivor says there was "no way out" for those by river
At least two people were killed after flash flooding rushed through part of the Grand Canyon. CBS News' Matt Gutman reports.
Two people have died and one remains missing after flash flooding at the Grand Canyon on Saturday, according to the National Parks Service (NPS). At least 30 people were initially unaccounted for, but rangers worked tirelessly to reduce that number, evacuating most by air. The flooding began around 14:30 local time (19:30 BST) in Bright Angel Canyon and caused significant damage, including the destruction of footbridges and the closure of key areas. The NPS anticipates further heavy rain overnight, increasing the risk of additional flash flooding.
