HIGHLANDS, N.J.—Highlands police say two people had to be fished out of the Shrewsbury River after their canoe flipped.
Highlands Police Chief Joseph Blewett says a 23-year-old Highlands woman and a 24-year-old Colorado man went for an early-morning canoe trip Thursday when the accident happened.
One of the pair was spotted holding onto a buoy.
A worker at the Sandy Hook Bay Marina heard calls for help.
The worker, along with a person who lives nearby, jumped into the water to help. Along with emergency workers, they rescued the pair.
Police say the woman was taken to a hospital as a precaution.
