One Dead, Two Injured in Boating Accident Inside Grand Canyon By Felicia Fonseca | April 29, 2021
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. One person died and two others were injured in a rafting accident on the Colorado River inside Grand Canyon National Park, authorities said Tuesday.
A commercial river trip requested help around 11 a.m. Monday after a motorized raft overturned near Kwagunt Rapid, which has a 12-foot (3.6-meter) drop and ranks in the middle for difficulty. It’s about 56 miles (90 kilometers) down the river from where the trip launched at Lees Ferry.
A cold front had moved in with strong wind and snow on the canyon’s rim, preventing the park’s helicopter from responding immediately. Crews in two rescue boats set out later Monday and reached the site Tuesday morning, Grand Canyon spokeswoman Kaitlyn Thomas said.
