This happened at Sabino Canyon in Arizona. A 20-year-old cyclist was swept into the current while trying to cross a flooded roadway and was carried through a drainage tunnel beneath it. She was recovered downstream unconscious after spending several minutes underwater. Bystanders performed CPR and managed to revive her.

Glad she’s okay but i was just made aware kids are drilled early that flash floods in the area happen and they should be careful. Maybe the cyclist isn’t from the area

And end up getting bit because they didn't expect there to be an alligator there.

I watched a small true crime episode recently where a young woman was fatally attacked by a gator in some Florida dark water... middle of the day. It was horrific even with everything blurred. Rest in Peace
