Indiana Conservation Officers are searching for the driver of a truck who disappeared Monday afternoon when his truck was swept off Spout Springs Road just south of Shoals near the White River.
A passenger of the vehicle was able to climb out of a window and hold on to a nearby tree vine.
Members of the Shoals Volunteer Fire Department and the Martin County Sheriff’s Department launched a boat and rescued the passenger.
Surface searches and sonar are being used to locate the driver, 82-year-old James Petty of Fortville, and the vehicle.
Search efforts for Petty have been hindered by the swift moving water conditions.
