A water rescue takes place near the Zaragoza Bridge and Loop 375.

EL PASO, Texas -- A person was hospitalized in serious condition after being pulled late Tuesday night from the water of the Rio Grande.

That person was discovered by the El Paso Fire Department’s Water Rescue Team as they searched the river near the Zaragoza Bridge and Loop 375 after receiving reports of several people in the water. No others were found.

It was unclear if the person rescued was a migrant attempting to cross the border; authorities did not release that individuals's identity.
