Recovery operations underway to find possible drowning victim on Kentucky Lake | NewsRadio 1230 AM/99.3 FM | Hopkinsville’s News Leader
Recovery efforts are set to begin anew after weather delay efforts Saturday night, as officials in Stewart County search for a possible drowning victim.
According to Stewart County Fire Rescue in Tennessee, first responders were called to Grays Landing on Kentucky Lake for reports that a person had gone missing in the water. Search and recovery efforts began at once, but due to severe storms rolling through, water conditions quickly became rough.
Recovery operations were suspended for the night after water conditions and severe storms partially sank a civilian boater near the boat ramp.
No additional details on the matter have been released.
