From Times Wire Reports

The body of a construction worker was pulled from the swollen Arkansas River, hours after he and two colleagues fell 100 feet when the scaffolding they were on along a highway bridge collapsed.

There was no sign of the other two men, who were presumed dead. The river, swollen from recent rains, was moving too swiftly for divers to search the waters, Little Rock Fire Capt. Jason Weaver said.
