PROVO, Utah, June 1, 2021 (Gephardt Daily) — Swift water crews are working to recover a body spotted Tuesday afternoon in the Provo River.
A local resident called officials at 3:40 p.m., Sgt. Nisha King, Provo Police Department, told Gephardt Daily. The body was seen in the river in the Exchange Park area, which is at 900 North and 700 West.
As of 5:20 p.m., the body, which was caught up in debris, had not yet been recovered.
