A search for three people after a boat capsized in the Monongahela River has now become a recovery mission, the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission and Greene County emergency management officials said Monday afternoon.

The U.S. Coast Guard said that a 24-foot cabin cruiser collided with a tugboat vessel Sunday night. That caused the cruiser to capsize. The boat was a fiberglass hull with an outboard motor. It was registered in Virginia and reportedly launched from a trailer near Fredericktown, PA.
