Qld: Search resumes for missing 8-year-old
BRISBANE, Dec 1 AAP - The search for an eight-year-old boy who has been missing since
being struck by a speedboat at Tinana Creek, near Maryborough, north of Brisbane on Sunday,
will resume this morning.
A search began immediately after the boy, who was paddling on a surfboard, was struck
by the ski boat and failed to surface at around 11am (AEST).
Despite the efforts of witnesses, emergency service volunteers, police divers and a
helicopter, he could not be located.
Police said the boy and his parents were members of a church group that had spent the
weekend camping on a property adjoining a popular stretch of the creek used for water-skiing,
swimming and boating.
