AUBURN — Police believe they have found a car in the Green River that was swept away with two children inside this morning, but the search has been suspended for the day because of the strong current.
After evaluating the water conditions, the King County Sheriff's Office's dive team decided a short time ago that the search will not resume today. It wasn't immediately known when divers would be able to go back into the water.
Authorities had said earlier the current is so swift that it pulled a regulator out of a rescue diver's mouth.

Search on for car swept down Green River with kids inside
By KOMO Staff AUBURN, Wash. -- Police and firefighters are searching the Green River for a vehicle that may have been swept away with a teenager and 2-year-old child inside.
Auburn police Sgt. Scott Near said a woman called 911 just before 9 a.m. and said she lost control and ended up in the river in the 29800 block of Green River road.
The woman told police that as water began to fill the car, she got out to call for help and the vehicle was swept away with a 14 year old and 2-year-old child still inside.
She tried to get the kids out of the car but was unable to do so, Near said. "She's pretty distraught and shaken up."
Near said rescuers are looking for the silver Volkswagen Bug, but so far they have not found the car.
