DOUGLAS COUNTY, Minn. – A 15-year-old boy is recovering after falling overboard in Lake Miltona north of Alexandria.
Crews responded to the lake around 2:00 Saturday afternoon on a report of a person falling out of a moving boat. Someone on a pontoon got the boy out of the water safely but the unoccupied boat was going in circles. Members of a local dock and lift company were able to stop the boat.
The teen was not wearing a life jacket. The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office reminds you to always wear one when out on the water.
