Boone County Water Rescue was dispatched at approximately 9:00 p.m. Sunday at the request of Piner-Fiskburg Fire Department and Kenton County Emergency Management to investigate tire tracks leading into the Licking River.
Operations were suspended around 2:00 a.m. Monday due to unsafe river conditions. Search and recovery operations resumed around 10:00 a.m. and divers located a vehicle approximately 20 feet off the bank in roughly seven feet of water.
