FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Rescuers searched for two fishermen Wednesday night after a boat crash on Lake Lanier earlier in the evening.
Investigators said two boats collided around 5 p.m. in the area near Bald Ridge Creek and Little Ridge Park.
“Game warden was patrolling, and they received a call about a boat collision,” said Sgt. Lee Brown, with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources.
Emergency crews said a man in one of the boats was taken to North Fulton Hospital with chest pains and upper extremity injuries. Two women in the same boat suffered minor injuries.
