Rescuers resumed searching Mecox Bay early Monday for a missing jet skier, Southampton Town police said.

A police spokesman said the search for the jet skier, whom only has been identified as a 29-year-old man, resumed at about 6 a.m., after he and his passenger overturned the watercraft shortly before 6:45 p.m. on Sunday.

A passing boater was able to rescue the passenger, a woman, whom police also did not identify.

But it was called off after a few hours because of an approaching storm and darkness, police said.
