An Indian American hiker has gone missing after being swept away in a flash flood in Utah. Search is underway for the woman hiker who went missing during a flash flood in Utah’s Zion National Park.
Park spokesman Jonathan Shafer said the search for Jetal Agnihotri, 29, has been extended. She was with a group of hikers when they were swept away. Parks Service Rangers were able to save several hikers. However, their operation to save her has not succeeded.
Rangers learnt of Agnihotri being missing and searched for her to no avail in the area and in the Virgin River.
While the search continued on Monday, Shafer said that „the Washington County Sheriff Office’s Swift Water Team investigated fast-flowing and deep areas of the Virgin River, dog handlers investigated vegetation and log-jams, and the Zion National Park Search and Rescue Team continued its search in and near the Virgin River“.
