Mayday call prompts search on the Ohio River off Crittenden County

A Mayday call has prompted a search along the Ohio River near Crittenden County.

The Crittenden Press said the call was received by the U.S. Coast Guard on Thursday morning. The Crittenden County Rescue Squad put a boat in the water to begin searching, as the call reportedly came across a marine radio. The Press also said that teams from Livingston and Union County joined in the effort to search about a 40-mile segment of the Ohio.

The Coast Guard is said to be coordinating with the county teams, although there is no information on the type of vessel or how many people might be aboard.
