Recovery Mission After For 2 Fishermen Disappear On Kankakee River
As CBS 2's Jermont Terry reported, witness said the men were there one minute and underwater the next.
KANKAKEE, IL (CBS) — Two fishermen on the water were swept into the Kankakee River in Kankakee Thursday afternoon, and hours later, rescue efforts turned to recovery. As CBS 2’s Jermont Terry reported, witness said the men were there one minute and underwater the next.
There was swift current along the river Thursday night, and that played a factor in the two men going under. That witness was out fishing himself — one moment, he was talking to men, and the next, they were drifting down river.
