PHOENIX (AP) - A 7-year-old girl died in a flash flood that ripped her out of the grasp of a would-be rescuer as her family fled to high ground.
The body of Marissa Reyes was found early Wednesday, about 1 1/2 miles from the spot where the rushing water separated her from her family, authorities reported.
Reyes, three of her family members and a ranch worker fled from the family's home Tuesday when they saw high water rushing down a nearby creek following thunderstorms, said Sgt. Kip Rustenburg of the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office.
