River rescues continue on American

RANCHO CORDOVA, CA - High, cold water on the American River brought several more rescues Wednesday, including one group of 20 rafters who had  to be rescued when their rafts foundered near Goethe Park.

"We got hung up right in the middle between a really big current and I don't know, but the raft popped and it flipped over," Benjamin Gabriel of Lincoln said.

As fire rescue boats raced to pull people out, Gabriel said he was barely able to make out of the freezing, fast water.

"I had two life vests strapped to me and I had a really hard time getting to shore," Gabriel said.

"People are using, really, toy rafts, the type you would use in a swimming pool," Sacramento Metro Fire Assistant Chief Brian Rice said.

When the rafts hit a tree branch or snag and suddenly deflate, people are left to try to make it out on their own, Rice said.
