Sacramento County teen rescued from river shares warning to others

A Rancho Murieta teen is grateful to be alive after rescue crews saved him from the rushing waters of the Cosumnes River in Sacramento County. Troy Luna Jr., 18, said he and three friends went rafting Monday afternoon when the current suddenly pulled him downstream. He was not wearing a life jacket, which he said was a mistake. While in the water, Luna Jr. was able to grab onto a tree to prevent getting pushed further down the rushing water. "My adrenaline was kicking in. I was gripping that thing for dear life," Luna Jr. said. "I'm glad I was fine and that tree was stable, but like, if it wasn't, I wouldn't be here, and I don't think anybody should be doing that either because I could have died and I don't want to die."
