Police, mountain rescuers and firefights are continuing to search for a missing 23-year old Polish student who fell into the Soča River, with the search centred in the area of Velika Korita.
According to reports, the young man was walking with four other students along the Soča Trail towards Lepena on Saturday afternoon when he slipped and fell into a river canyon. His companions saw him swim for a short time and then he disappeared from view, at which point they telephoned for help. The rescue teams searched for the man until 10pm Saturday, and the search will continue today.
