Three kayaks occupied by four individuals, including one juvenile were traveling down a river when they hit a tree that had fallen across the river and all three kayaks capsized. 

The three individuals, including the juvenile were able to be assisted out of the water at the location of the incident. The 4th individual was swept down river along with the other kayaks. Two good samaritan kayakers had located the individual in her kayak and the 2nd kayak and assisted her to shore. The individual was transported by Putnam EMS to Day Kimball Hospital for evaluation. She was treated for a concussion and near drowning.  Only the juvenile was wearing a pfd. The 3rd kayak was never recovered.
