In a hit-run, boat strikes lake swimmer

Game wardens in Georgia are appealing for the public’s help to solve a hit-run incident last week on Rabun County’s Lake Burton.  A 29-year old swimmer sustained arm and head injuries when hit by a boat passing her family’s boathouse.  The accident occurred between 4 and 6 pm Thursday, August 22. Her cries for help resulted in a 9-1-1 call and the arrival of an ambulance. Investigators want to talk to anyone who may have seen what happened or can provide a description of the boat or any info on individuals involved or other potentially relevant details.  Please contact Warden Joe Hill at 229/539-1820.
