Story highlights
- The flooding washed away 2 vehicles that carried 16 people
- Most who live in the community are members of the Warren Jeffs polygamist sect
All the victims are mothers and small children, Assistant Fire Chief Kevin Barlow said. The youngest child was about 4 years old.
The flooding ravaged a community that straddles the border from Hildale, Utah, to Colorado City, Arizona.
Most of the people who live in the community are members of the Warren Jeffs polygamist sect known as the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (FLDS).
The flash flood started with heavy rains in the canyons above Hildale, Barlow said. The rush of water was so intense it washed two vehicles downstream.
The two vehicles were carrying 16 people, Barlow said. Among them, six died, three were found alive and seven remain missing.
About 60 to 70 people searching the border area for the missing people.
