Two women safe after kayaking accident in Waupun

Two women are OK after their kayaks collapsed in the town of Waupun.

According to NBC 26, Fond du Lac County sheriffs were called to the Rock River Friday night after reports of capsized kayaks and two women trapped in fallen trees and unable to escape.

A sergeant was dispatched to locate a 40-year-old woman from Beaver Dam and a 52-year-old woman from Waupun north of Highway 49 near Church Road.

A Good Samaritan was already helping the women when the sheriffs showed up.

The sergeant went into the water and was able to get the women out using rescue equipment.

Both are uninjured and their kayaks have been recovered.
