QUESNEL – Police say a 17-year-old British Columbia male is believed to have drowned after a boat capsized on a lake in the central Interior.
Mounties in Quesnel say the boat was carrying four people on Stony Lake.
Three of those on board made it to shore, but the vessel’s operator did not surface and has not been found.
Police say the search effort is ongoing.
The operator has been identified as a 17-year-old youth from Prince George, B.C., and his family has been notified.
An underwater recovery team is expected to arrive at the scene Tuesday to assist with the search.
