COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Authorities say two people have been rescued from a cave at a Missouri state park after they became trapped by rising water following recent heavy rains. Broadcast outlet KMIZ reports that emergency crews rescued the first person Wednesday night from the cave at Rock Bridge Memorial State Park near Columbia.

Boone County Fire District Assistant Chief Josh Creamer says the second person was removed early Thursday. Creamer says the pair were spelunking in the Devil’s Icebox cave.

TV station KOMU reports rescue crews took rafts, canoes and a speedboat into the park. It was the second rescue operation at the park Wednesday. Earlier, authorities helped free a woman trapped by high water.

The area saw strong storms and heavy rain Wednesday.
