SOUTHPORT -- Brunswick County and Sunny Point rescue officials on Tuesday resumed their search for a man who fell from the Southport municipal pier.

Coast Guard Petty Officer David Marin said crews continued efforts to find the man who was seen falling from the pier to the waters of the Cape Fear River.

Station Oak Island responders received a call about 6 p.m. Monday reporting the accident. Coast Guard crews used two boats to hunt for the missing man Monday evening and a Jayhawk helicopter also was sent from Air Station Elizabeth City to fly over the area.

Search crews from the Brunswick County Sheriff's Department helped scour a 19-square-mile area for more than four hours Monday before suspending the search overnight.
