WEST FALMOUTH, MASS.

A woman was taken to the hospital Friday evening with minor injuries after a boat she was on struck some rocks off Chapoquoit Beach, according to the fire department.

The fire department was called to the beach at 5:30 p.m. for a report of a boat taking on water, Falmouth Deputy Fire Chief Timothy Smith said.

A private towing service also responded to the scene and, with the help of another privately owned boat, five people and a dog from the damaged boat were transferred to the beach itself, Smith said.

From the beach, the fire department’s rescuers took the injured woman to Falmouth Hospital, he said.
