People swim after boat sinks on Koshkonong

LAKE KOSHKONONG-Passengers on a paddleboat took an unexpected swim in Lake Koshkonong at about 6:30 p.m. Tuesday when the boat started sinking.

A person on shore saw the boat sinking in the Highwood area and called 911, said Milton Fire Chief Chris Lukas.

Help, however, wasn't necessary.

By the time members of the Milton Fire Department, Edgerton Fire Department and Rock River Safety Patrol arrived, the paddlers had swum to shore, dragging their boat behind them, Lukas said.

No injuries were reported.
