PETERSBURG, Va. — First responders have resumed searching for a man who fell into the Appomattox River while fishing with his friends in Petersburg on Tuesday night.
According to a Facebook post from Petersburg Fire Rescue and Emergency Services, an active search took place Tuesday night along West Street near the river, before it was called off for it being too dark. The search resumed Wednesday morning around 8:30 a.m., CBS 6 confirmed.
On the scene, CBS 6 saw a number of boats and a drone launched to help search further down river. The search is a joint operation involving a number of local agencies.
"A request was also made to halt train traffic through the area to ensure scene safety," the Facebook post reads.
