Fairfax County, Va. –– Rescue crews are back in the Occoquan River this morning searching for a 65-year-old female boater who went missing yesterday afternoon.
Crews are now searching Fountain Head Regional Park, just up stream from where the woman went missing at Sandy Run Regional Park on the Occoquan River, said Fairfax County Fire and Rescue spokesman Capt. Willie Bailey.
Though crews have not released her name or where the woman is from, Bailey said the woman is an avid boater who was in the water Saturday preparing for a race.
That race was being held Sunday morning while crews were searching the water for her.
The woman’s boat was found capsized in the river, said authorities.
Crews were prepared to search for the woman until sundown.
Prince William police are also assisting the rescue crews, said Bailey.
