Mohave Sheriff's Office deputies recovered the body of 64-year-old Steven Jerome Tucker Wednesday after his truck was washed away by monsoon storms.
Monsoon flooding washed away a car and left a man dead east of Kingman in Mohave County before authorities found his body on Wednesday.
The Sheriff’s Office cautions people driving in monsoon conditions not to cross flooded roadways as the risk of washing away is high. This is the second known flood-related death in Mohave County this week. On Monday, the body of 69-year-old John Craig Johnson was pulled from his truck after it was found upside down in a wash following a night of monsoon storms.Man's body found in truck, which was likely swept away during Mohave County monsoon
The county is home to watersheds which drain directly into the Colorado River and can make it easier for flood waters to accumulate. The most recent storm dropped 2.28 inches in less than one hour, resulting in dangerously washed out roads.
