Hopi man recovered from flood waters

(Thanks to AP) Hopi law enforcement officials are investigating the death of a man who was swept away by floodwaters. Authorities say two other people were rescued after floodwaters washed away a truck on the reservation last week. Hopi officials say they received a call that a vehicle was stuck in a wash in a remote area on the southwestern edge of the reservation. Officers arrived and found the bridge completely submerged. A man and a woman were rescued and sent to the Tuba City Heath Care Center. Coconino County Search and Rescue crews pulled a man from the submerged truck. He was pronounced dead at the scene. His name has not been released.
