A miner working in Bear Canyon was killed Sunday in the flash floods that devastated parts of Utah.
According to the Emery County Sheriff's Office, at around 10:15 p.m. a wall of water and debris came down the canyon near the Gentry Mountain Mine and swept over multiple crews.
One group, seeing the water coming towards them, attempted to reverse their vehicle and move out of the path of the flood, but were unable to do so. As the group exited the vehicle, water and debris swept one man away and carried him downstream.
Following an all-night search that lasted into the morning, the man's body was discovered about six miles downstream at 11:15 a.m.
