Two men were washed downstream on the Taramakau River on Friday after a jet boat crash, but only one was rescued by a helicopter that happened to be in the vicinity. It is believed Daniel Skeggs was the man swept away after the crash. A photo posted to social media appeared to show family laying flowers at Taramakau River during the search.
