MOAB -- Search and rescue teams are looking for a missing river runner whose canoe overturned Thursday morning in white water rapids on the Colorado River.

The Grand County Sheriff's Office says Jody Page, of Moab, is feared to have drowned. He was in a fiberglass canoe with another man with it filled with water and capsized, tossing both men into the water.

The other man managed to swim to safety; deputies say neither was wearing a life vest.
