Two fishermen were missing and feared dead Wednesday after their boat collided with a 23-foot cabin cruiser on a Georgia lake, according to reports.
The two men never resurfaced at Lake Lanier in the northern part of the state, authorities said.
“That doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re drowning victims, but so far no one has come forward that swam to shore or got picked up by another boat,” Division Chief Jason Shivers of the Forsyth County Fire Department said, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.
