Man Lost When Boat Capsizes In James River
Coast Guard sent two 40 foot cutters to search the James River for a man missing after a 12 foot craft capsized in high winds and heavy seas about two miles north of the James River Bridge. Two other men were rescued by a Richmond bound tanker and are in good condition. The missing man’s name has not been released pending kin notification. The same storm affected a State Highway ferry at Hopewell to Charles City, driving it onto a sand bar before a second ferry could assist.
