Yakima, Wash., authorities say a 24-year-old Tacoma man who decided to go for an impromptu swim in the Naches River has drowned.

The Yakima Herald-Republic reports that Martin Diego was apparently driving through Yakima with two companions Tuesday evening when he decided to stop and swim.

A friend, Breanna Marquardt, says when Diego didn't return after 10 to 15 minutes she and his brother decided to call police.

The Yakima Fire Department and Yakima County Search and Rescue responded.
