HAVANA, Ill. (AP) - Authorities say one man was killed and another person possibly missing after a car drove down a boat ramp into the Illinois River.
Police say emergency crews responded Saturday night to the boat ramp in the central Illinois city of Havana and began a search-and-rescue operation.
Rescue crews found a man's body about two hours later and pronounced dead at the scene. The Mason County coroner's office identified the man as 35-year-old Aaron Anderson of Canton.
Havana police say a witness believed two people were inside the car, but a search that resumed Sunday in the area about 40 miles southwest of Peoria didn't find a second victim.
