(Radio Iowa) – Someone called authorities in the Sioux City metro early Monday afternoon to say a young woman they saw get into the Missouri River had disappeared. Rescue teams from both sides of the river launched their boats and Lieutenant Joe Rodriquez says within 10 minutes firefighters spotted the woman floating in the middle of the river and pulled her out of the water.
Rodriquez says the woman wasn’t struggling and did not appear to be in danger.
Sioux City officials — on both sides of the river — do not recommend swimming in the Missouri, even during a 100 degree day like Monday.
Rodriquez says he doesn’t have the name or age of the woman who did go for a swim in the Missouri River.
