Search efforts are ongoing to locate a missing boater in Lake Erie near Erieau, Chatham-Kent, Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) say.
Authorities say they received a report of a missing boater who was last seen entering the lake from the Rondeau Bay channel, around 2:50 p.m. ET on Thursday.
According to OPP, a group of five individuals, each operating a separate watercraft, were leaving Rondeau Bay when one of the vessels became partially disabled after striking a hazard in the water. One individual became separated from the group after continuing into Lake Erie, while the others returned to the marina with the disabled vessel.
Police have identified the missing man only as Jason, 42.
He was last seen operating a personal watercraft — a 1996 White/Green/Blue Sea-Doo GTX Limited — in Lake Erie. He is described as a white male, 5' 10, medium build with black hair. He was wearing a yellow life jacket, red swim shorts and a beige t-shirt.
OPP say members of the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre, Canadian Coast Guard, American Coast Guard, Chatham-Kent Fire and Rescue, Elgin OPP, Rondeau Provincial Park and Chatham-Kent Police Service assisted with the search.
