KOOTENAI COUNTY, Idaho — A teenage girl was injured while tubing on the Spokane River Wednesday afternoon.
According to the Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office, a boat was pulling campers on the Spokane River near Ross Point Bible Camp.
Some tubers fell off their tubes. The person operating the boat moved it toward the teenagers.
One of the teenagers was hit with a propeller. She was taken to the hospital with serious but not life-threatening injuries to her leg and abdomen.
The Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office says when a boat approaches a tuber in the water, it must be turned off once it gets close.
