A 19-year-old man is missing after falling off the Cedar Point Pier while fishing. Strong currents swept him under the pier and despite rescue attempts, he lost his grip. Search and rescue efforts are ongoing involving multiple agencies.
Family members tell FOX10 News a 19-year-old man who was fishing on the Cedar Point Pier with three others fell off the pier and currents swept him underneath.
He disappeared, and officials are still looking for him. A Mobile County Sheriff’s Office official said this is a search and rescue effort and that a 911 call came in about 2 a.m.“He was sitting on the banister of the pier trying to untangle some fishing line,” Peak said.
“He lost his footing and fell over backwards into the water. ”He said, “The current is moving through fast this morning. He was quickly swept away underneath the bridge, but he was able to cling to the pier under the bridge for a brief period of time. ” Dauphin Island police arrived on the scene quickly and attempted to throw life-saving buoys towards the man while he was clinging to the pilings of the pier.
Peak said that, because of the current, the fisherman was unable to make it to those buoys and at some point he lost his grip. The U.S. Coast Guard, Mobile County Sheriff’s Flotilla and Dauphin Island Police Department are all assisting in the search efforts.
