TUCSON, Ariz. — A man and his two young daughters are safe after they were rescued from floodwaters near Tucson, Arizona, Wednesday morning.
A spokesperson for Golder Ranch Fire District says its swiftwater rescue crew was dispatched to the Edwin Road crossing of the wash just west of Catalina at around 10 a.m.
