GRAND RAPIDS, MI -
Two people were transported to Marshfield Medical Center by helicopter Saturday after a boat crash on Lake Wazeecha.
Three additional people were taken to Aspirus Riverview Hospital by ground ambulance, said Corey Trowbridge, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources warden supervisor.
At about 12:30 p.m. Saturday, a caller reported a boat crashed into the shoreline on the lake, Trowbridge said. The original call was that one person had a head injury and a female had her leg torn open, according to the Wood County sheriff's log.
The injuries of all five people are believed to be non-life-threatening, Trowbridge said.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation by the DNR, Grand Rapids Police Department and Wood County Sheriff's Department, Trowbridge said. Of course, many people drink and boat or speed and boat. This may very well be one of those cases.
