LAKE ONTARIO: Three rescued after boat capsizes
Staff Reports
Lockport Union-Sun & Journal
Three people were picked up by a passing boat after their sailboat capsized in the water off Olcott on Wednesday afternoon.
According to Niagara County Sheriff’s Dispatcher Robin Zastrow, the sheriff’s department received a request for assistance from the U.S. Coast Guard about 2 p.m.
“We received a call from the Coast Guard that this boat was capsized and there were three people in the water,” Zastrow said.
Police scanner chatter indicated the boat had capsized about a mile from shore, and three women had been spotted in the water.
Dispatch notified officials at AES Somerset about the incident. Ambulances were told to head for the boat launches at the Golden Hill State Park.
As sheriff’s deputies and members of the Olcott and Barker fire companies responded to the scene, the Coast Guard called off the request a short time later.
The women were rescued by someone Zastrow called “a Good Samaritan.”
“The people were picked up by a passing boater and taken safely to shore,” he said.
The boater took the women to the shore near Lyndonville, Zastrow said.
