Man rescued after Evansville boat accident
With warmer weather approaching, people will engage in many seasonal pastimes such as camping, boating, and fishing. However, with these activities come risks. A man who was fishing on the Ohio River today experienced one of those risks.
According to the Evansville Courier & Press, a man who was fishing on the Ohio River became stranded on its shore after an Evansville boat accident.
The Evansville boat accident occurred when the 17-foot john boat struck a log under the water and sent the man overboard. The Evansville boat accident victim was not wearing a life jacket and the boat did not have a kill switch, so he had to swim to shore where he waited to be rescued.
