Deckhand Gary Adams of Waterloo, Ohio has died after falling overboard off the Marathon Oil towing vessel, TRI-STATE. The vessel was reportedly involved in early morning docking operations at the Marathon Petroleum dock near Kenova, West Virginia when the accident occurred. Adams was reportedly untying a mooring line when the TRI STATE was put into gear, causing Adams to lose his balance, fall into the water, and go under the barge. The United States Coast Guard is investigating the accident.
