RUSSELL COUNTY, Ky. -Russell County Emergency Management has confirmed that the body of a man who went missing following a weekend multi-boat crash on Lake Cumberland has been found.
The man, who was located around 2 p.m. Tuesday, has yet to be identified. Russell County Search and Rescue said he was one of two sitting idle in a bass fishing boat when it was struck by another boat around 11 a.m. Saturday.

Two individuals were on the other boat involved in the crash, including a woman that was thrown from the vessel. Her condition remains unknown.
Authorities believe the crash to have been accidental. Kentucky Fish and Wildlife are investigating.
