PHOENIX – The body of a man who was swept away by floodwaters in the far north Valley over the weekend was recovered Tuesday morning, authorities said.

The discovery was made after the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office Aviation Unit and Lake Patrol deputies resumed search efforts in New River.

MCSO responded to multiple calls about vehicles getting caught in Agua Fria River flooding during Sunday’s storms.

Around 10 a.m., rescue crews were dispatched after a vehicle was swept away near Interstate 17 and Table Mesa Road, about 40 miles north of downtown Phoenix.
