INCIDENTS

97-173 - Glen Canyon NRA (Utah/Arizona) - Follow-up on Search

The body of K.G. was recovered from the waters of Lake Powell
on the morning of April 29th following an intensive, three-day effort that
included over 100 dives and more than 50 hours of bottom time.  K.G. was
attending a party on a boat and fell overboard during the early morning hours
of April 26th when it made a sharp turn.  He was not wearing a life jacket. 
Members of the NPS-lead, multi-agency team recovered the body just north of
the Arizona state line at the mouth of Crosby Canyon in Warm Creek Bay.  The
successful recovery effort was due to combined efforts by the National Park
Service, K.C. Johnson Foundation, Kane County Sheriff's Office, Coconino
County Sheriff's Office, Arizona Department of Public Safety, Utah State
Parks, Arizona Game and Fish, ARAMARK, and local businesses.  Criminal
charges against the boat operator are pending.  [CRO, GLCA, 4/30]

97-176 - National Capital Parks East (D.C.) - MVA with Fatality

J.B., 36, of Front Royal, Virginia, was killed in a motor vehicle
accident in Greenbelt Park just before 4 a.m. on April 29th.  J.B. was
traveling south toward the park's campground when he failed to negotiate a
sweeping right hand turn; his vehicle crossed the northbound lane and struck
a tree on the shoulder of the highway.  He was pronounced dead at the scene. 
Speed was a factor in the accident.  Park Police officers are investigating.
