Law enforcement agencies in north Palm Beach County are searching for a man whom police say was operating a 23-foot boat on the Intracoastal Waterway Saturday night, when it collided with an illuminated channel marker.
The impact caused severe head injuries for one of the passengers on board.

Investigators say the boat operator fled the crash scene and had not been located nearly 24 hours later.
