A man drowned in the Ohio River near the Greenwood boat ramp during a fishing trip with his family on Tuesday afternoon.

Police were called around 2:45 p.m.

A man who said it was his brother who drowned talked to WAVE 3 News reporter Sara Rivest on the scene.

He said they were fishing with family and there were about 11 people on the boat.

According to police, the group was fishing on the river when someone's line snagged. A man dove in to unhook the line and began to struggle in the water. A second person jumped in to help that person and also began to struggle in the water, but made it back to the boat.
