Flash flooding triggered by monsoon rains in New Mexico on Tuesday killed at least three people, including two children, as it hit the mountain village of Ruidoso, sweeping a house downstream.
Authorities in Ruidoso said in a July 8 statement that the river rose to record levels, sweeping away a 40- to 50-year-old man, a 4-year-old girl, and a 7-year-old boy.
