SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — Three people were killed when monsoon rains triggered flash flooding in a New Mexico village, sending walls of water, mud and debris rushing down mountainsides that have been repeatedly scarred over recent years by wildfires and post-fire flooding.

At least three people were killed by historic flash floods that hit a New Mexico mountain community that suffered devastating wildfires last year, officials said late Tuesday.

At least three people, including two children, have died due to flash flooding in Ruidoso, New Mexico on Tuesday, July 8.
