Two boats collided on Lake Cumberland last night.
Several first responders were called out sometime around 8:30 last night, and responded to Jamestown Marina after reports came in that two boats collided on the water near the Campbell’s Landing Boat Ramp.
According to Russell County Search & Rescue, four people went into the water due to the collision. All four were wearing life jackets.
Chris Money with Russell County Search & Rescue said two of those individuals were injured with one being taken by helicopter to the University of Kentucky after being transported by search and rescue to the Pleasant Hill Boat Ramp.
Money praised the work of all agencies involved, which also included Russell County EMS, Russell County Emergency Management, local dispatch and Kentucky Fish & Wildlife.
He also said the fact the individuals were wearing life jackets likely saved their lives.
