DANGEROUS RIVER CURRENT

SIOUX CITY---AS THE MISSOURI RIVER CONTINUES TO RISE IN SIOUXLAND, SO DOES THE AMOUNT OF KIDS PLAYING IN IT.

SIOUX CITY CRIME PREVENTION OFFICER JEREMY MCCLURE SAYS IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT PEOPLE STAY AWAY FROM THE WATER.

HE SAYS THE RIVERFRONT IS CLOSED TO TRAFFIC, HOWEVER PATRONS CAN ENTER THROUGH THE FLOYD OR HAMILTON EXITS.

THE RIVER IS CONSIDERED VERY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY WITH THE STRONG CURRENT RUNNING THROUGH IT.
