ERIE, N.D. (AP) - More than a dozen people at a campground in rural Cass County rescued two adults and a child who were tossed into a lake when their boat overturned.

The boat capsized in heavy wind on Brewer Lake near Erie Sunday. The boat’s driver Dylan Rickford says he was having trouble with the motor when they hit a wave and flipped.

KVRR says campers at scrambled to action, launched a boat and brought the three to safety before emergency personnel arrived.
