  "summary": "A flash flood at the Grand Canyon forced the evacuation of dozens of people and swept debris into the Colorado River on Saturday afternoon. Bright Angel Creek, which flows into the river, was significantly altered by the torrential water, creating a new river rapid and wiping out footbridges over the creek. The National Park Service is seeking information about more than 20 people who may be missing or unaccounted for and is working with the Arizona Department of Public Safety to continue evacuations on Sunday. No injuries have been reported, and popular tourist spots including the Bright Angel Campground, Phantom Ranch, and parts of the North Kaibab trail remain closed while park officials survey the damage.",
