GEARY COUNTY – A Kansas woman was injured in an accident on Milford Lake.
Just after 11:45 p.m. on Saturday, a man and woman from Wichita were in a boat competing in a catfish tournament about three quarters of a mile south of the City of Milford boat ramp, according to the Geary County Sheriff’s office.
A second boat rear-ended the fishing boat.
“They never saw that boat and it went from the rear end of the fishing boat over the top to the front end of the boat, completely over it,” said Sheriff Tony Wolf.
A woman in the fishing boat was transported to Geary Community Hospital with a possible broken arm, according to Wolf.
The collision did damage to the motor of the fishing boat, the railing along the side of the boat and the center console.
Individuals in the second boat from Delia, Kansas, were not involved with the fishing tournament.
The accident is under investigation by Kansas Wildlife Parks & Tourism. They released no additional details on Monday morning.
