HIGHLAND LAKE, Ala. (AP) - Authorities in Blount County are searching for a teen who fell from a boat while inspecting docks and piers for storm damage.

Sheriff Loyd Arrington told local media outlets that a 15-year-old boy from Ragland fell from a boat on Highland Lake Thursday morning. Arrington says three other people were on the boat at the time but it’s unclear how the teen fell overboard.

The teen’s identity hasn’t been released.
