PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – The search continues for a 10-year-old boy who went missing while kayaking on Yellow Breeches Creek in Cumberland County.

The 10-year-old boy went missing on Saturday and now emergency responders are considering turning the search into a recovery mission, CBS affiliate WHP-TV reported.

In an update Tuesday, officials said the boy was kayaking with three adults and three other children at the time of his disappearance. He was reportedly alone in his kayak, went under and did not come back up. WHP-TV reported the boy was buried under debris.

The television station reported that the search for the boy began in Cumberland County near Limekiln Road, but that emergency crews moved downstream into York County. Rescue crews arrived at the scene and began searching for the boy within 10 minutes.

Since his disappearance, rescue workers have been out on the water every day to search for the 10-year-old boy.

It is unclear where the group of kayakers came from.
