Teen Jess Galvan Found in Alazan Creek After Carnival Night
Fire crews recovered 17 year old Jess Galvan from Alazan Creek near Tampico Street bridge after he slipped into the swollen river following a Fiesta Carnival. His body was found lodged against a pillar in about four feet of water with his jacket still on. His older brother Joe, 18, was with him when they walked home from the carnival amid nearly four inches of rainfall. Relatives aided the search along with Pedro Galvan, the father, who broke down during the effort. Acting District Fire Chief Fred Acosta noted the creek’s high flow hampered the recovery.
