A deer-hunting trip on a rainy day in southwest Missouri’s Dallas County has turned tragic.

The Missouri Water Patrol says a pickup truck has been swept off a low-water bridge on a farm near the community of Tunas. Two of the men got out through the back window of the truck. But the third man, William Willis of Independence, was unable to escape.

Searchers recovered his body about five hours after the flooded creek washed the pickup truck off the crossing.

The incident happened on a farm near the community of Tunas.
