Rushing water in a flooded wash near Golden Valley flipped a Jeep over, stranding the 75-year-old driver, Arizona sheriff's officials reported. A bystander saw the man drive into the wash about 2 p.m. Friday, Aug. 12, the Mohave County Sheriff's Office said in a news release. The fast-moving water tipped his Jeep on its side. The onlooker called 911 to report the Jeep was floating down the wash with the driver on top. Deputies responded but decided the swift current made pulling the man to safety too dangerous, the release said.
