Officials: Piers along Lake MI can pose risks

GRAND HAVEN, Mich. (WOOD) — The search for the body of a teen swept into Lake Michigan has brought up an important conversation about pier safety.  

The incident took place Wednesday at Holland State Park, where  16-year-old Eliza Trainer from the Flint area was knocked off the north pier by a large wave. 

On Friday, the Ottawa County Dive Team and Marine Patrol searched for her body by boat with sonar technology. Searchers were unable to deploy dive teams in the recovery effort due to high winds and dangerous lake conditions. As of Friday night, her body still has not been discovered.
