The car, with a Colorado family inside, went off the road and plunged down a 60-foot canyon and fell into the river Friday afternoon. The driver, Evelyn M. Maestas, 60, of Mancos, Colo., and her adopted daughter, Tori, 11, were able to escape through a broken window and get out of the river, highway officials said. They told authorities they saw Maestas' granddaughter, 5-year-old Danica, also of Mancos, Colo., still inside the Nissan as it sank. The search was suspended at sundown Saturday. State Trooper Todd Johnson said authorities would determine how to proceed Sunday morning. Crews started searching for the car and the girl on Friday. They resumed early Saturday, walking the river's shoreline and using the sonar technology, Sgt. JeffNigbur, a Utah Highway Patrol spokesman, told The Associated Press. The sonar, attached to a boat on the surface, provides underwater images of the river bottom. By Saturday afternoon the sonar crew had covered about mile of the murky river. One of the problems is that the river bottom is strewn with large boulders, Nigbur said. "We're having a hard time looking through all the nooks and crannies/' Nigbur said Saturday afternoon. "The Colorado River is also very dirty and you can't see a thing." Crews also don't know how much air the car had in it - which would allow it to move farther down the river - or if it sank quickly, he said. "We're looking everywhere we can,1* Nigbur said. . Utah Highway Patrol Sgt. Darrel Mecham said Maestas and the 11year-old girl suffered from hypothermia and were taken to the hospital after Friday's crash. Their condition was not immediately available Saturday afternoon. Indonesiantigercatchers race against time You'll find it in Aldine!

The weather was warm, and boaters had packed the small parking lot overlooking seaside condominiums and light blue waters. Mayes said many of the boaters who returned Saturday evening said they were surprised that the water had gotten so rough. The Coast Guard search was mainly by air, and was hampered by the poor weather, Close said. He said there were 14-foot seas offshore and wind gusts of up to 30 mph. Water depth in the search area ranges from 20 to 50 feet. The Coast Guard originally sent a 47-foot ship to search for the men around 2 a.m Sunday. It returned to dock about eight hours later and was replaced by a larger ship, in part because of the weather. Smith, 29, had 30 tackles, including three sacks, and an interception in 12 games last season for the winless Lions. Smith, who is 6-foot-2,250 pounds, also played for the San Francisco 49ers and played college ball at North Carolina State. He lives in Richmond, Va. Del Duca said Smith is one of the "good guys" of the league and was planning to start visiting teams as a free agent this week. He said he has spoken with Smith s family and is also in touch with Coast Guard officials. "They've assured me that they're deploying all available resources to look for these guys and get them back," he said. Cooper, 26, has played five seasons with the Buccaneers, Seahawks, Jaguars, Steelers and Raiders. He appeared in 26 games with the Buccaneers in 2004 and 2005, recording 30 tackles. He has played sparingly since as he has bounced between teams, appearing in 13 games and recording 10 tackles. Cooper, who is 6-foot-3,230 pounds, played college ball at Washington. He grew up in Gilbert, Ariz., and his father Bruce is a prominent sportscaster for KPNX-TV in Phoenix. Cooper told The Seattle Times in 2002 that one reason he chose Washington was the abundant fishing. "I like fighting the fish," Cooper told the newspaper. "And just relaxing out there and being alone and being outside." Bruce Cooper described his son as an avid fisherman who goes deep sea fishing "any opportunity he gets." tatesn an.usu.edu GEICO.
