A search for a car reported to have gone missing in a Dallas, Texas, river has been called off after conditions became too dangerous for the rescue crew to continue.
Dallas Police said someone called 911 a little after 10 a.m. to report that a vehicle was in the Trinity River just east of Interstate 45 in Dallas, Fox 4 reported.
An employee of the city told Fox 4 that they saw a man in a small white vehicle go into the water and sink.
The search ended without rescuers finding the vehicle or the person who was reportedly in it.
“The weather conditions are too bad [to continue the search],” Dallas Fire-Rescue spokesman Jason Evans told the Dallas Morning News. “River conditions are only worsening.”
He added that if the search resumes later, it will likely be a recovery operation and not a rescue.
As of 2 p.m. on Wednesday, a flood warning was in effect for the Trinity River at Dallas.
The water level in the river was predicted to rise on Wednesday night but fall down below flood levels by Thursday night.
