VANCOUVER, British Columbia - A boy celebrating his third birthday was
unhurt and apparently unfazed after he floated nearly eight miles down a
river riding atop his toy truck, police said.

The boy's family was camping at a popular park near Fort St. John, in
northeastern British Columbia, on Sunday when the boy wandered off unnoticed
and somehow entered the nearby Peace River, Royal Canadian Mounted Police
said Monday.

The boy's parents at first thought he was playing with other relatives at
the campsite. But police were later alerted and had begun a search when a
boater found the boy, and the toy, about 7.8 miles away.

After a nearly two-hour journey down the swift-moving river, the boy had no
injuries and was apparently unaware of the danger he had been in.

"He was very excited to see the police," said RCMP Constable Jackelynn
Passarell.

A local news report said the boy made sure the boater who found him also
retrieved the toy truck.
