HENDERSON CO., KY (WFIE) -

A boat over turned near the Twin Bridges sending everyone on board into the river.

Henderson County Dispatch says they received a call at 3:42 p.m. Sunday afternoon that a pontoon boat flipped onto its side and sent at least four people into the river.

They say fire and rescue crews responded and say that no one was seriously injured.

Rescue crews say that the boat hit waves from a passing barge and they instantly overtook the much smaller sized boat. 

Those on the barge witnessed what happened and assisted in helping get the boaters out of the water.
