FAYETTEVILLE -- The National Park Service says a 70-year-old Oklahoma man died today in a rafting accident on the New River.

New River Gorge National River spokesman Gary Hartley says the man's name is being withheld until relatives are notified.

Hartley says the man fell overboard in Middle Keeney rapid. He was recovered about three minutes later, but he wasn't breathing and guides from River Expeditions were unable to revive him, Hartley said.

Today's death was West Virginia's second fatal whitewater accident in less than a week. A New York woman drowned on the Cheat River on Saturday.
