Two men are dead after a boat they were on collided with a barge on the Ohio River late Thursday night.
The barge captain saw the boat cross the barge's path.
"He was looking right out the front watching what was going on. It was a big barge," Cincinnati Fire Chief Lou Arnold told The Cincinnati Enquirer. "The (pleasure boat) just crossed right in front of them and slammed into the barge. We can only assume they didn't see it."
The barge was carrying limestone and was headed north at the time of the collision between the Taylor-Southgate and Purple People Bridges, WKRC reported. The barge has been moved to Covington Landing.
Some media accounts have identified the victims as men in their twenties.
WCPO reported Friday that the victims were locally-based FBI agents in their thirties.
The US Coast Guard and the Kentucky Department of Fish & Wildlife are investigating.
