Youth Drowns in Rio Grande at Acuna Bridge
An unidentified youth drowned Friday afternoon in the Rio Grande upstream from the International Bridge between Del Rio and Ciudad Acuna. Del Rio firemen recovered the body after 6:15 p.m., aiding the operation with Mexican officials and volunteers. Downstream water releases at Amistad Dam were reduced to assist the search, creating mid river islands used as search points. US deputies and Border Patrol units patrolled the area with aircraft on standby to aid recovery efforts.
