TANANA -- Alaska State Troopers say a boater is missing and feared drowned on the Yukon River.
Troopers took a call Saturday night that a boat with three people on board had sunk 50 miles downriver from Tanana between Flora and Weir islands.
A HAM radio operator reported that the boat overturned as it sank, trapping one of the boaters.
The other two people on board were rescued.
Troopers flew to the area Sunday morning.
Tanana is 130 miles west of Fairbanks. The name of the missing person was not immediately released.
