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

The 10-year-old boy went missing on Saturday, and now crews are considering the search as a recovery mission, CBS affiliate WHP-TV reported

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