GREEN RIVER, Wyo. — The body of a Utah man was recovered and two other men were rescued after a boating accident in Flaming Gorge Reservoir, Sweetwater County Sheriff's Office detective Dick Blust said Sunday.
Adverse weather was a factor in the accident that involved three men fishing in a small boat on the west side of Flaming Gorge, south of Green River and the Buckboard Marina, Blust said.
He said a call about what is being described as a fatal boating mishap came into authorities "very, very early" Sunday morning. The two survivors are "safe and well," Blust said, and are also believed to be from Utah.
