IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) — Dive teams continue searching for a man who fell into the Snake River in Idaho Falls.

Idaho Falls Police said Teng Go, 88, of Arizona, slipped and fell off the rocks between the falls and the Broadway Bridge on Sunday around 2:30 p.m.

First responders quickly arrived and began searching for the man. As of Monday afternoon, Go has not been found.

The Bonneville County Sheriff's Dive Team stayed late Sunday evening and returned on early Monday morning.

Officials said the search has been complicated by the river conditions.

The Chaplains of Idaho also assisted by supporting the man's family.

The Sheriff's office said they are searching between Broadway and South Tourist Park. The area has been restricted and ask people to stay away while they search.

This is the second person to fall into the river near the Broadway Bridge. In June, a Louisiana man also slipped and fell off the rocks. His body has never been found.
