FRANKLIN COUNTY--Two teenagers were trapped in their truck Monday morning in the Mulberry River off of Beneaux Bottoms Road. Franklin County Sheriff Anthony Boen tells us that the 16 and 17 year old were trying to cross the river when the truck flooded out and got stuck in the high water.

The teen boys called their dad to come pull them out when the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission found them. A tow truck was later called to pull the truck out of the river. No one was hurt.
