A man and two children were killed in a record-breaking flash flood that swept through a village in New Mexico on Tuesday, local officials said.
The three were "swept downstream by the unprecedented floodwaters that struck" the Village of Ruidoso, village officials said in a statement. More than 50 others were rescued by emergency crews, the village said.
"Our hearts are broken for the families who have lost their loved ones in this terrible tragedy," Mayor Lynn Crawford said in a statement.
The Rio Ruidoso rose "to a record-breaking 20 feet — five feet higher than the previous record," officials said.
