A 16-year-old boy drowned in a kayaking accident on the Labe River in the Trutnov area on Saturday. He and a friend were thrown into the water when their kayak overturned as the two were attempting a sluice. The other boy was able to make it to shore. Fire fighters found the missing boy’s body some 700 metres downstream, after searching for over an hour.
