Woman missing at Lake Mead after falling off personal watercraft

Authorities were searching today for a woman who fell off a water scooter at Lake Mead, according to the National Park Service.

Two people reportedly fell off the watercraft about 6:15 a.m. near Lake Mead’s Boulder Islands, officials said.

The islands are northeast of Hoover Dam and directly across from a personal watercraft beach.

One individual, a male, was found, but the woman had not been seen since going into the water, officials said. Neither person was wearing a life jacket, the Park Service said.

No additional information was released about the male.

National Park Service rangers and Metro Police search and rescue teams searched the area, and the incident was under investigation, officials said.
