A search for two men who went missing while swimming in Lake Michigan in northwest Indiana Friday is set to resume on Saturday, with bad weather hampering efforts.
Search operations are resuming Saturday morning for two boaters who went missing on Lake Michigan in northwest Indiana on Friday, local officials say. The search was called off late Friday as nightfall descended on rescue efforts. Weather conditions in the area are hampering search efforts due to strong winds and high waves, the Indiana Department of Natural Resources tells Fox News Digital.
The group tried to move the boat closer to him but couldn't reach him due to the strong winds and waves, and then a second man jumped into the water to try and help the first swimmer. However, the second man also got into difficulty, prompting a third man in a life jacket to then go into the water but then got separated from the other two men. The man wearing the life jacket was then rescued by the Coast Guard at around 4:30 p.m.
