Emergency incident at Columbia River Park - Developing story

 


Emergency personnel responded to Columbia River Park this afternoon at 2:28 p.m. for a water rescue. 

Shortly before 4 p.m. two unmarked black SUVs arrived, each carrying a uniformed individual who appeared to be from the Lancaster County Coroner's Office.

One of the individuals subsequently departed on a rescue boat that went upriver toward a location between the two bridges (Route 462 and Route 30). The nature of the operation and what prompted the coroner's involvement remains unclear at this time.

Authorities have not yet released official details about the incident. This story is developing, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
