SALISBURY, Md. (AP) — Investigators are recovering the body of a boater who was missing after an accident in the Wicomico River near Salisbury.
The Maryland Department of Natural Resources Police say the body was located Saturday.
Authorities said a person notified the Coast Guard early Saturday that a man went overboard after his boat was involved in an accident. The boat reportedly struck a dredge pontoon, and the boater was ejected from the vessel.
A woman who was a passenger on the boat was taken to a hospital and was treated for injuries.
A Coast Guard crew from the St. Crisfield station was searching for the boater Saturday with rescuers from Wicomico County, Salisbury and state agencies.
State officials did not immediately identify the boater.
