Search underway for man after boating incident
RCMP Halifax Regional Detachment is searching for a man following a boating incident in Devon.
Yesterday, at approximately 8:15 p.m., RCMP officers, fire and EHS responded to a report of a capsized boat on Cousins Lake. RCMP officers learned that two men were travelling on the lake in a small pleasure craft when it capsized.
A 50-year-old man, who swam to the shore and called for help, suffered non-life threatening injuries and was transported to hospital by EHS. A second passenger, a 58-year-old man from Truro, remains missing.
The search, assisted by Halifax Ground Search and Rescue (GSAR), Musquodoboit Valley GSAR and the RCMP Underwater Recovery Team, continues.
