Authorities are expected to resume their search for the body of a man who is believed to have drowned while riding a jet ski in northwest Miami-Dade Thursday.
Police say the man was riding the jet ski in a lake in the 19400 block of Northwest 48th Court when he fell into the water around 7 p.m.
He was last seen trying to swim after the watercraft. He wasn't wearing a life jacket, police said.
"He did make an attempt to swim back to the personal watercraft and unfortunately was unsuccessful," Miami-Dade Police spokeswoman Robin Pinkard said.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue divers entered the water and searched for the man but were unsuccessful. Divers will return for the search Friday once the sun is up.
The man hasn't been identified.
