Rescue Crews Search For Couple Missing In Snowy Sierra

POLLOCK PINES (AP) -- Rescue crews are searching for a missing couple who became stuck in snow while driving in a mountainous area in El Dorado County.

The El Dorado County Sheriff's Office says a man and a woman in their 60s were last heard from Sunday afternoon.

A Sacramento television station reported the husband and wife went for a drive in their white truck Saturday morning. Relatives reported them missing after they called to say they were stuck in the snow in the rural mountainous area of Wentworth Springs and Ice House roads.

Officials say the California Highway Patrol Air Patrol is assisting with the search.
