Huron County OPP are asking the public to remember to be safe on the water after two teens were rescued from Lake Huron.
Police responded to a report of two overdue teens on a paddle board not wearing life jackets on Monday, August 28.
Officers arrived at an address north of Goderich in Ashfield-Colborne-Wawanosh at 2:50 p.m. The caller told police that their 15-year-old daughter and 15-year-old friend had ventured out in Lake Huron on a single paddle board with no life jackets or cellular phones and hadn't been seen in over 2 hours.
The OPP Marine Unit and the Canadian Coast Guard were dispatched, and luckily the teens were located safely just after 3 p.m.
The OPP is reminding the public to enjoy Lake Huron safely and ensure your loved ones are always prepared with the proper safety equipment. This could have been a fatal situation.
