Coast Guard air and surface crews began searching for a missing boater on Sunday, in the vicinity of Coki Point Beach and Thatch Cay in St Thomas, US Virgin Islands.
Missing is Todman Davaughn, 51, who reportedly was ejected from a 30-foot white power boat after the vessel crashed and spun out of control several times.
Coast Guard watch standers in Sector San Juan received a call from a 911 emergency operator, who relayed the report from a person who witnessed the incident ashore.
The Coast Guard along with Saint Thomas Rescue teams responded with a boat, divers, and a drone to help with the search.
A friend of Davaughn reportedly towed the vessel back to shore.
Coast Guard Cutter Joseph Tezanos was expected to continue with the search last night.
Anyone who may have information on this case may contact the US Coast Guard Sector San Juan Command Center at 787-289-2041.
