There was still no sign Sunday of an 18-year-old St. Paul woman who disappeared after her makeshift raft crashed into a barge on the Mississippi River Saturday.
A second woman on the raft, who also is 18, managed to pull herself to shore.
The women were floating down the river on a two-inch-thick sheet of yellow plastic foam that they apparently found at a construction site near the Science Museum of Minnesota.
Authorities say the current was strong from heavy rains and it quickly pulled the raft downriver. The raft broke apart after crashing into a group of barges at the river's edge just east of the Lafayette Bridge.
Crews are using sonar to look for the missing woman.
