HORSE CAVE, Ky. (AP) — Authorities say rising water from heavy rains has trapped 19 people in a Kentucky cave.

Horse Cave Fire Chief Donnie Parker says Thursday that two tour groups are trapped in Hidden River Cave in south-central Kentucky.

Parker says two local police officers who tried to rescue the tourists are among those still inside. He says the tour groups have been in the cave for several hours.

He says authorities have not been in communication with the trapped people and are unsure where they are in the cave. Parker says four people were able to escape.
