Three kayakers wound up in the Thornapple River Sunday morning when their kayak flipped over.
Hastings Chief of Police Jeff Pratt told WBCH News their officers were called to Tyden Park where they had been seen in their small boat.
The three had been carried down river by the rapidly moving water, but did manage to get themselves out the river near Riverside cemetary. One idividual was taken to the hospital to be checked out after being in the icy water.
Shortly before 3:00 o'clock another kayaker ended up in the river sending emergency personnel to the river for the second time Sunday.
Hastings Police, Sheriff deputies, State Police, Hastings Fire department and ambulance personnel rushed to the scene. Police are warning individuals to stay off of the river.
The Thornapple river is at 8 feet and dangerous. A Flood Warning remains in effect.
