(CNN) Three children in Arizona are missing after floodwater swept up their vehicle in central Arizona. A car was crossing Tonto Creek, about 60 miles west of the New Mexico border, when it was caught in flooding around 4 p.m. local time Friday, according to Gila County Undersheriff Mike Johnson. An adult woman who was in the water also was able to get out, but three children remain unaccounted for, the undersheriff said. Johnson told CNN the children and two adults were all in the car together when it was overtaken by floodwater, but it's unclear how they are connected or what age they are. An Arizona Department of Public Safety helicopter joined the search for the children Friday night along with local authorities and the fire department, Johnson said.
