WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) - Rescuers were searching for up to eight teenage students at an outdoor program who were missing after being swept away by a raging river in New Zealand, officials said Tuesday.
At least three other students were rescued. Police Inspector Paul Jermy said weather conditions, described as "rugged," were hampering the search.
Jermy said the students were swept away by rising water levels in the Mangatepopo River in central North Island's Tongariro National Park.
