Authorities are continuing their search along the Ohio River for a barge crewman who apparently fell overboard Tuesday afternoon, and is presumed drowned. The barge and tugboat from which the crewman fell are owned by Southern Towing of Memphis, TN. Joshua Harris, 20, is a native of Syracuse, OH and fell over the barge railing on Tuesday afternoon. He was not wearing a lifejacket and did not resurface after his fall. Authorities are using a new side-scanning sonar device to produce images of the riverbed, hoping to direct divers in their search.
