GREENWOOD COUNTY — Law enforcement authorities are investigating a weekend boating accident in Greenwood County.

On Saturday evening, Kansas Game Wardens and a Park Ranger responded to a report of a boat striking a submerged bridge on Fall River Reservoir, according to a social media report from game wardens.
The boat was traveling at a high-rate of speed at the time of the crash, according to the Greenwood County Sheriff.
After using a drone to locate the accident scene, a warden rushed a paramedic and a COE Ranger by boat to the crash site. They provided aid to the operator and two other passengers and retrieved a female victim from the water. She sustained hip, ankle and possibly a head injury, according to the sheriff’s department. The boat driver suffered a head laceration.
The woman was shuttled back across the reservoir for an airlift to the hospital and is recovering, according to wardens. Two others were ejected from the boat and uninjured, according to the Sheriff’s department. Authorities did not release names of those involved in the accident.
Kansas Game Wardens reminded everyone to be vigilant while using the still flooded but receding waters in Kansas.
