For Star subscribers: Pima County officials are trying to decide what to do with the a truck that was abandoned in the Cañada del Oro wash after it was swept off the road by a monsoon flood in August.
Henry Brean On Aug. 10, firefighters waded into a raging Cañada del Oro wash to pull two people from a Nissan pickup moments before the churning floodwaters carried the two-ton truck downstream.
Officials from the Pima County Regional Flood District weren’t even aware of it until the Star asked about it. “As an ongoing environmental hazard, there’s probably not a lot there,” he said. “The contaminants that are in normal floodwaters far exceed what’s in a single vehicle.” A records request filed by the Star late last week seeking the names of the people rescued from the truck is still being processed by the Golder Ranch Fire District and the Northwest Fire District, the two agencies that responded to the call.
Since then, Jones said, the county has reinforced the river bank and built a stretch of the Chuck Huckelberry Loop through that area, rendering the rail-car flood barrier obsolete.
