There was a near drowning/injury on the Red River on 6/17/23 in Robertson Co. The victim and her party (approximately10 people) rented single seat kayaks from Run-a-Muck Outfitters and approximately one mile from their take out they were out on a gravel bar, when she fell and hit her head on her fiancés kayak causing her nose to bleed. 

After getting the bleeding under control, she got into her kayak and was pushed off the gravel bar and floated approximately 50 Ft before falling out of her kayak and into the river. She was under the water for approx. 20 seconds before being pulled to safety. She lost consciousness and stopped breathing during this time and CPR was administered by nearby bystanders. Montgomery Co. EMS arrived on scene at 14:59 and transported her to Tennova Hospital (15:35 Arrival Time) in Clarksville where she was ultimately placed on a ventilator by the medical staff. 

This officer arrived at Tennova Hospital at approximately 16:45 after being notified from Run-a-Muck Outfitters about a possible incident involving their customers.

The next day (6/18/23) she was transported to St. Thomas were she appears to be recovering (conscious and speaking) accordingly to her fiancé. 

She was not wearing a PFD during the incident and I have not found any Boaters Ed information.

Witnesses stated she consumed alcohol (5-6 Beers) and marijuana prior to the incident.
