According to reports from the Tuolumne County Sheriff’s Department, the man (whose identity was not released) was crossing a bridge between Tuolumne and Calaveras County at around 8 p.m. Monday night when he slipped and fell into the cold water. The bridge was said to have been part of an old trolley system. The man’s friend said he could have been swept into one of three water tunnels downstream. A search is being conducted by emergency officials from Calaveras, Tuolumne and Stanislaus Counties. The Calaveras County Sheriff's Department said the area was also being searched by air yesterday and a dive team from Stanislaus County. Lake Tulloch is about 30 miles east of Stockton.
