TWENTYNINE PALMS, Calif. - A flash flood spawned by tremendous downpours
swept a car off a Mojave Desert road, killing two sisters and a family
friend who saved the daughter of one victim.

The car became stuck Tuesday afternoon on a street that dipped into a flood
channel. It was washed about three blocks before flipping over, San
Bernardino County sheriff's Sgt. Rich Bozwell said

It was the second major round of flash floods in the Mojave Desert in a
week. Torrents of muddy water flowed over roads and through high desert
communities north and east of greater Los Angeles on Aug. 20.
