10 swept away in Ontario floodwaters, 5 rescued

Five people are believed to be dead after officials say 10 individuals were swept away in a rush of floodwaters in Ontario as a storm dumped heavy rains across Southern California this week. Five of the individuals have been rescued, officials said.

At least body was recovered on Tuesday. On Wednesday, the Ontario Fire Department said it was no longer conducting a rescue mission for the remaining individuals, but one of recovery. They're using sonar technology and have requested a dog trained in sniffing out human remains to be brought to the scene.

All ten people who were swept away are believed to have been in a homeless encampment, sleeping under a bridge at 4th Street, when the flood waters came rushing down the channel Tuesday. Authorities initially believed six people had been swept away.
