Law enforcement and rescue personnel in Harrison County responded to a sand pit near the Boyer River to search for a man whose vehicle was found buried in sand near the Hallett Materials plant, which is near the Boyer River. Coworkers looking for him overnight found his Caterpillar truck in a sand ditch. Attempts to recover the vehicle were underway this morning. Initial reports indicated the vehicle was in the water. Dive teams were called to the scene, southwest of Dunlap, as the sand pits contain water. An on-site crane was bringing up a mix of sand, water and ice.

Water rescue team boats were being deployed.The circumstances around the incident remain under investigation.
