OHIO NEWS
from Eyewitness News Online Tugboat sinks in Ohio River; crew member missing March 14, 2010 10:14 PM CINCINNATI Authorities say a towboat sank in the rain-swollen Ohio River and one crewman is missing. Hebron Fire Protection District spokesman Michael Fronimos says two crewmen safely swam to shore after the boat sank Sunday afternoon between Anderson Ferry and Taylorsport. He says crews were searching for the missing man as darkness fell. Recent rainfall and melting snow have increased river levels and led to swift-moving currents. The two crewmen have been taken to St. Elizabeth Hospital in Florence for treatment of hypothermia. Fronimos says the water temperature was about 45 degrees. Lt. Tom Scheben of the Boone County Sheriff's Office says it wasn't immediately clear what caused the boat to sink. The crew members' names have not been released.
