Police say officers responded to numerous calls Saturday about a Jet Ski driver in distress near the weir on the South Saskatchewan River.

The city’s fire department water rescue crews also responded to search for the man, as well as aerial support from Saskatoon police.

Residents are being advised to stay away from the river due to increased water levels and speed.
