FLAGLER COUNTY, Fla. – A man was saved last week after he became lost in a salt marsh along the northeast Florida coast.
The individual was located in the 1,500-acre marshland park known as Princess Place Preserve on Thursday night, where heavy rain caused the man to lose his way and find himself in ankle-deep water.
He called 911 and deputies were dispatched to his location, made possible by his GPS coordinates, according to the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office.
However, deputies experienced challenges during their search, as severe weather made helicopter support unavailable and delayed their use of drones.
