Authorities in Utah found four more bodies Tuesday in the aftermath of a flash flood described as a "wall of water" that swept away a van and an SUV near the Utah-Arizona state line Monday, bringing the death toll to 12.
Utah Emergency Management announced the discovery at around 2:25 p.m. local time (4:45 p.m. ET). One person is still missing.
"This hit with a vengeance we haven't seen for some time," said Kevin Barlow, the assistant fire chief in Hildale, Utah.
Barlow said that an SUV and a van carrying a total of 16 people had been swept away by the flooding on Monday evening. They were "hit by a large wall of water and debris," Washington County Emergency Services said in a statement.
