Rangers search for man at Storrie Lake

STORRIE LAKE, N.M. (AP) - Park rangers are searching Storrie Lake in northern New Mexico for a man who tried to swim to shore from his stranded boat but did not make it.

The lake is closed to boating while the search continues.

Authorities say a park visitor and a ranger rescued a man from the water at the north end of the lake Thursday evening after he had tried to help the man who was trying to swim to shore.

The 45-year-old man did not make it to the shore and is presumed drowned. His name was not immediately released.

Rangers searched for the victim until dark and resumed their search Friday morning. The New Mexico State Police Dive team was also called out.
