RIPLEY, Ohio (AP) — Rescue crews are searching for two men missing after a boat crash on the Ohio River, authorities said.

Fire departments and rescue teams were dispatched after a crash between a pontoon boat with two fishermen and a speed boat in front of the Ripley Boat Club reportedly sent five people into the water shortly after 10 p.m. Saturday, officials said.

Ripley firefighters said the two men from the pontoon boat remained missing Sunday. Three people from the other boat were rescued and one was flown to a hospital.

The cause of the crash is under investigation by the Ripley fire department and the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife.
