Three Fishermen Rescued from Lake Erie
Two children had to be treated for chemical burns after they came in contact with gasoline when their boat sank in Lake Erie Wednesday morning.
The children and a man were fishing about 5 miles from the Walnut Creek Marina when the boat started taking on water and quickly sank. The three jumped into the lake, where they stayed for about an hour until people on a passing boat spotted a cooler in the water. When they stopped to pick up the cooler, they heard the cries for help from the man and children.
The other boaters rescued the trio and took them to the Walnut Creek Access area. From there, they were taken to UPMC Hamot.
