Turbulent flood waters forced rescue divers to call off their search late Monday for a 5-year-old boy who was swept away in the San Marcos Creek outside of San Miguel.
The boy's mother was driving a truck when it became stranded just before 8 a.m. near Paso Robles, a small city inland from California's central coast, according to Tom Swanson, assistant chief of the Cal Fire/San Luis Obispo County Fire Department.
The search for the boy was called off around 3 p.m. because the current and rising water levels of the Salinas River were too dangerous for divers.
