What the National Weather Service wrote

An elderly couple was returning to their home and found a low water crossing on Rush Creek flooded. They decided not to try and cross in their truck. They got out of the truck and attempted to cross the creek on foot at an old road bed that crossed the creek nearby. The water was too swift and they were swept downstream. The 88 year old man survived, but his 87 year old wife did not.
