They say an 80-year-old man tried to cross a swollen tributary in a utility vehicle. He got out of the vehicle and tried to get to the other side of the tributary. While crossing, troops say he was swept away in the current. He was rescued and taken to the regional medical center, where he was pronounced dead.
