Teen From Prince George Missing, Presumed Drowned After Boat Sinks on Stony Lake
Three passengers reached shore, and an underwater recovery team is expected to join the ongoing search for the missing Prince George teen.
- On Saturday, a 17-year-old Prince George youth was presumed drowned after a boat capsized on Stony Lake, 90 km northeast of Quesnel, leaving four occupants in the water.
- Three occupants safely reached the shore, but the boat's operator did not surface; Stony Lake is a popular fishing site accessible from Willow Cale Forest Service Road, roughly 80 kilometres southeast of Prince George.
