A second person’s body has been located in the flood-ravaged West Plains area.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol’s drowning report says a man’s truck was washed away by floodwaters as he was trying to cross a low-water crossing south of West Plains Friday night.
Authorities say the floodwaters carried the man and the truck a half mile downstream, leaving the truck in 15 feet of water.
The body of the 45-year-old victim was recovered on Sunday.
Also, the body of a man from O’Fallon, Missouri was found earlier in floodwaters near Howell Creek.
