SALIX, Iowa (AP) - A body has been discovered on the Missouri River, but authorities have yet to determine if it's the Nebraska man who was ejected from a boat on Saturday.
The body was discovered at around 9:30 p.m. Monday night by a boater about 11 miles downstream from where Bruce Wright initially disappeared.
Wright and Oscar Gomez, both of South Sioux City, Neb., were thrown from a boat operated by Samuel Gomez about a mile north of Salix, Iowa on Saturday.
The body was transported to St. Luke's Regional Medical Center in Sioux City and will be identified and examined by the Woodbury County Medical Examiners office.
Oscar Gomez sustained injuries to his right leg and left hip and was airlifted Saturday night to Mercy Medical Center in Sioux City, Iowa.
