ST PAUL, Minn. — Two people were pulled from a Ramsey County Lake Tuesday morning after witnesses spotted them struggling in the water.
Ramsey County Sheriff's Office spokesman Steve Linders says fire rescue personnel and the sheriff's water patrol were dispatched to Beaver Lake just before 10 a.m. after someone called 911 to report people fighting to stay above the surface.
St. Paul Fire and Rescue quickly launched a rescue boat and first responders sped to the people in the water. A woman was pulled from the lake and rushed to a local hospital. Linders says she is alive but her condition is unknown.
A man described as a good Samaritan was also pulled from the water. He told deputies he saw the woman struggling in the water and jumped in to help. Linders says that man is OK and uninjured.
