A team of park rangers and volunteers searched Friday for a West Jordan man who was reported missing following a boating accident on Lake Powell.
Kory John Pasquin, 28, had not been seen since Thursday when the boat he was reportedly driving collided with a canyon wall at the Escalante Arm section of the lake, according to a National Park Service report.Witnesses said the boat was traveling at a high rate of speed at the time of the collision, the report said. Pasquin was apparently thrown from the vessel on impact.
A passenger on the boat, 32-year-old Mark David Altop, Salt Lake City, was seriously injured in the accident and was taken to a hospital in Page, Ariz. Altop was later flown to LDS Hospital, where he was listed Friday in fair condition.
Divers spent Friday searching for the missing boater.
