Crews save kayaker from Colorado River

“He was stuck in a recirculating hydraulic which is behind the dam where water recirculates and you're not able to swim out of it and so he was basically stuck in that hydraulic”

Some frightening moments Friday for a local family on the Colorado River. Rescue workers said a father was canoeing and kayaking with his three sons when he went over a dam and couldn't get out of the water. via KVUE
