A young woman had to be rescued from Peters Lake Park Friday morning after her kayak capsized. Washington County 9-1-1 dispatchers say it happened around 7:30 a.m. A witness says she spotted a life jacket in the water when she arrived at the lake and then saw the woman clinging to the vessel and yelling for help. First responders then arrived on the scene and used a motorized boat to get to the woman because of the strong winds and white caps on the water. Peters Township Fire Chief Michael Mclaughlin tells WJPA News that the woman’s life vest came off when the vessel flipped and she went into the water. 9-1-1 dispatchers say the unidentified woman was transported to Washington Hospital but we have no word on her condition.
