Ottawa Area Boating Accident–Lawyer David Hollingsworth ..The search continues at the confluence of the Jock and Rideau Rivers for a missing Ottawa man involved in a boat accident on the Jock River.
The missing man is believed to be in his mid-20s. The search of the Rideau and Jock rivers ended at around 9:30 p.m. and is to resume Friday morning at 8 a.m. A 25-year-old man who was also in the boat when it capsized made it to shore on his own. He was treated in hospital for severe hypothermia and later released. The boat accident happened just after noon. About 10 emergency workers searched the river banks of the Jock River for the missing man. The small, capsized fishing boat was spotted in the rapids on the Jock River along Bren-Maur Road. It’s believed the boat possibly capsized when it hit some rapids. It’s unknown if the two boaters were wearing life-jackets. The man who made it to shore tried to help his friend, but sadly…was unable to.
