Emergency officials said they are searching for a man who fell off a party barge on Lake Travis near Devil’s Hollow.

Travis County sheriff’s office spokesman Roger Wade said a two-story party barge was on the lake when a call came in about 1:45 p.m. today that someone was missing. People who were on the boat said the 24-year-old man was last seen on the second story of the barge near Devil’s Hollow.

Wade said a helicopter and several boats will continue to search the lake for the man. No other information was immediately available.
