Couple were kayaking and as they were floating along caught a branch and tipped over. Operator was able to pull himself out but couldn't get to his wife. He ran to SW 28th Street and flagged down a worker to call for help. Owatonna Fire rescue came and rescued wife from the water. The couple was transported to the hospital where the wife was treated for hypothermia. It should be noted that the river was higher than usual due to the large amount of rain the last few days.
