Body Thought to Be Someone Missing from San Antonio Flood

Search crews have found the body of someone they believe to be the one missing after flash floodwaters in a San Antonio creek swept four people off their feet, drowning one other.

San Antonio Fire Department crews found the body Friday afternoon in Martinez Creek at Fulton Avenue near Interstate 10.

That's about two miles downstream from where the four were swept off their feet by rapidly rising waters after a heavy Thursday afternoon downpour.

Fire Engineer Jesse Davila says the body was found face down and hasn't been determined to be that of a man or a woman but is believed to be that of the missing man.

Fire spokesman Christian Bove said one other man was able to swim out on his own and another was rescued.
