A tragedy was narrowly avoided last week when three teenagers were rescued from the Green River. Sweetwater County Sheriff Department Detective Dick Blust, Jr. says that three people were reported struggling in the swollen Green River west of the city of Green River on June 15th.
None of the girls were injured, although one was transported as a precaution to Memorial Hospital of Sweetwater County where she was treated and later released.
Blust warns that tubing on the river can be risky under even ideal conditions, but with the runoff we're having this year, the danger level is extremely high. Blust recommends simply avoiding tubing altogether.
