Divers will search today for the body of an adult male who was in the truck with the boy and two others when it drove off a maintenance road on Billy Clapp Lake. The two other boys were taken to the hospital for treatment and are recovering. Two fishermen witnessed the truck go into the water around 3:30 p.m. Sunday, Foreman said. The fishermen pulled the first two boys from the water, he said. A Sheriff’s deputy and a Fish and Wildlife official arrived on-scene and jumped into the canal to rescue the third boy, who was not breathing when he emerged, Foreman said.
