Canoe spill lands men in hospital


Sat. Apr 25 - 4:46 AM

LIVERPOOL — Two men were taken to Queens General Hospital here Friday
afternoon after their canoe capsized in Ponhook Lake, Queens County.

Liverpool firefighters, RCMP and paramedics attended the scene at the
popular sport fishing lake.

RCMP Sgt. Mark Gallagher said the men had been fishing and were not
wearing life-jackets, although two were found in the canoe.

Emergency Health Services received the call at 12:38 p.m. that two men
were in the water and sent two ambulances.

A 52-year-old man was able to swim to shore and was in fair condition,
said EHS spokesman Paul Maynard. He was taken away by ambulance at
about 2:18 p.m.

"The second patient was found at approximately three o’clock," he
said. He would not confirm if the man had swam to shore or was found
in the water.

That man was listed by ambulance crew as being in critical condition,
said Mr. Maynard.

RCMP said the man was 45 years old.
