Rescuers are trying to find two missing people after one was killed when the group went over a waterfall in Oregon.
The group fell down Dillon Falls on a stretch of river just ten miles from the city of Bend, Oregon.
Three people were found and taken to hospital but one person died at the scene on Saturday, the sheriff’s office said.
Search efforts for the missing went into Saturday evening and resumed on Sunday morning, Sergeant Josh Barker, with the sheriff’s office, said.
Further details – including the victims’ identities and how the group got swept over the falls – were not immediately released.
Dillon Falls, which is within Deschutes National Forest, features a large drop followed by a series of rapids that surge through a narrow gorge of lava rock.
