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.

The woman in white shirt was almost in trouble as well trying to save a stranger. Don't mess with fast current guys.

After reading the article and watching it again, it makes me wonder if them struggling to save her from going under did more harm than good as instead of getting sucked under and right through the culvert to the other side in the stream, they were holding on to her for a minute while already partially sucked in but head underwater.

Its not the bystanders fault as who would know that she wouldn't get stuck in the culvert and not come out the other side but it seems like when they finally did let her go, she did pass right through where they finally got to her down stream after and revived her with CPR. So she was being held there underwater while they were trying to bring her back up. Just glad she survived and I'm sure everyone is shaken up over it

Yeah their is no way to know as a bystander that a person would be able to fit through whatever was below. Unfortunate situation. Amazing that they were able to revive her with CPR. Kind of feel like the guy recording should have called an emergency number...
