MITCHELL, S.D. (AP) — Authorities in South Dakota are searching for two men missing after a garbage truck went into a flooded river.
Searchers returned Sunday to the James River about 15 miles (24 kilometers) north of Mitchell, South Dakota.

Authorities have not released the men’s names. State and local agencies are involved in the search.
