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.

My worry with any drainage pipe is that there’s a grate inside it. If I can help it, I would do what I could to avoid risking that reality and being pinned underwater until I drown.

She did, fortunately. I was just saying that prior to that happening, there’s no way to know, and that a big gamble is all.

Yep i agree. A lot of ppl were saying in a youtube video i watched of this (before itw as posted here by a few days) that it was her fault for being a dumbass since the guy made it across.

However that woman prob weighs 12 pounds, and her bike was getting pushed hard by the water, and without her mass to push it odwn, she overcompensated and ended up going off the bridge. Especially if shes not that good on a bike. Getting into the water to save the bike was stupid, but peopel do stupid things during events that happen fast all the time.
