A search for a missing man on Lake Erie has ended with a positive outcome.
The Ontario Provincial Police said a group of five individuals were leaving Rondeau Bay on separate watercraft on Thursday at around 3 p.m., when one of the vessels became partially disabled after striking a hazard in the water.
One member of the group who was riding a sea-doo became separated when the others returned to the marina with the disabled vessel.
Members of the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre (JRCC), Canadian Coast Guard, American Coast Guard, Chatham-Kent Fire and Rescue, Elgin OPP, Rondeau Provincial Park, and Chatham-Kent Police Service assisted with the search when the 42-year-old man could not be found.
Fortunately, the man was located Friday morning near the shores of Lake Erie, east of Port Glasgow.
Authorities are thanking the public for its help with the search.
