Watch camera footage of floodwaters tear through Ruidoso RV park where 3 people died
See Rio Ruidoso flood waters tear through a New Mexico RV park
Surveillance footage captured fast-moving water from the Rio Ruidoso rushing through Riverview RV Park, killing three people.
A flash flood swept through the Riverview RV Park on Tuesday, July 8, killing two children and one resident as heavy monsoon rains triggered a sudden surge of water from the nearby Rio Ruidoso.
Security footage from the park shows rain pooling around RV trailers, a pavilion, and the home of park owner Jason Fulcher. Fulcher is seen driving to check the river’s condition before discovering floodwaters rushing down Suddreth Drive. He returned to the park, shouting warnings to campers.
Within minutes, muddy water inundated the park, damaging rows of RVs. A family from Fort Bliss Army Post in El Paso was among those caught in the flood. Two children, ages 4 and 7, and a resident of the park were killed.
Footage shows a vehicle fleeing the area as water surged in, followed by a floating metal dumpster. A plastic float drifted through the park, Fulcher’s truck was swept away, and the pavilion was submerged. The camera cut off at 3:25 p.m. as floodwaters tore through Fulcher’s home.

UNM plans to build new gates along Central
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – The University of New Mexico plans to build new gates at four campus entrances along Central that will close nightly.
The gates will replace manual barriers in a project expected to cost about $1.5 million.
The Board of Regents approved the security upgrades for the UNM campus.
University officials said the gates will automatically close nightly from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.
The gates will go in near Princeton Drive, Stanford Drive, Yale Boulevard and Terrace Street on the south end of campus.
A current rendering shows the gate completely blocking the road. Officials said the change will reduce unauthorized traffic and allow police officers to focus more effectively on prevention and response.
Construction will start in May. University officials hope to finish the project by September.
