Summary
Four rafters, including a young person with partial paralysis, got stuck on the Merced River near Snelling—forcing deputies to airlift them with the Sable Five helicopter to safety. Medical crews checked them out at Henderson Park. Authorities issued a strong safety warning: always wear a life jacket, never mix drugs or alcohol with river trips, never go alone, and always check conditions—rivers can change fast and be deadly.
