Crews continue to search for missing man at Benbrook Lake

Around 1 p.m. on Saturday, June 27, Texas Game Wardens in Tarrant County responded to Benbrook Lake for a possible water fatality. Wardens are searching for a missing adult male, but the high winds and choppy water conditions slowed search efforts.

Crews searched the northeast portion of Benbrook Lake, near Longhorn Park Dr., all afternoon and into the evening, for a missing man. According to witnesses, two men jumped from a vessel to assist a child. One went under water and did not resurface.

The search for the man will resume Sunday, June 28, around 8 a.m. The Texas Game Warden Underwater Search and Recovery Team will join local wardens and their emergency response partners in the effort.

This is one of many water fatalities Texas Game Wardens responded to across the state Saturday. While every incident has unique circumstances, many water-related tragedies are preventable. Taking a few simple precautions can help keep you and those around you safe.

• Wear a U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket.

• Don’t boat under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

• Keep a close eye on children.

• Wear your vessel’s emergency engine cut-off switch.

• Be prepared for changing weather conditions.

• Avoid unnecessary risks.

Conditions can change quickly, and emergencies often happen with little warning.
