HAMPTON — The Carter County Rescue Squad rescued two men from Watauga Lake early Tuesday morning after their boat hit a small island in the middle of the lake.
Rescue Squad Director Terry Arnold said the identities of the two men were not available. He said both men suffered injuries and were transported to Johnson City Medical Center. Arnold said one man suffered possible internal injuries and the second man had chest and arm injuries and may have suffered a possible broken right arm.
Arnold said the accident happened around 4 a.m. as the boat was going upstream. He said a global positioning system was being used to navigate the boat. Arnold said when the boat hit the island, the driver remained with the boat, but his passenger was thrown into the water.
