GOLDSBORO, N.C. (WNCN) - Crews are searching in and around the Neuse River in Goldsboro Wednesday night for a father and son after a 911 caller reported seeing a child slip into the water.
Around 8 p.m., a call came in from someone who said they saw a father and son fishing off of a dock at the Goldsboro Boating Access Area off of U.S. 117. The caller said they saw the child slip in, spokesperson Joel Gillie said.
The father jumped in after him. A boat on the river stopped to help, too. Crews from various organizations are working to find the two, Gillie said shortly after 11 p.m. Wednesday.
Crews from the Goldsboro Fire Department, another volunteer fire department, the Wayne County Sheriff's Office dive team and Wayne County EMS are all on scene. Five boats are in the water and sonar is being used, Gillie said.
The river banks and surrounding land area have been searched.
Gillie said crews will remain on scene searching throughout the night as long as it is safe to do so.
