Rescuers Halt Search for Car Reportedly Swept Downstream

Rescue crews have suspended a search for the occupants of a white car reportedly swept downstream in the swollen Trinity River Wednesday morning.

Dallas Fire-Rescue said the search was halted due to the river's current and the danger posed to rescuers.

The search began after a witness told police that they saw the car drive into high water and get swept downstream, police said. The car was seen off of Great Trinity Forest Way and the Trinity River at Interstate 45.

DFR officials said rescuers may return to the water after the weather improves as part of a recovery effort.
