LAKE KEOWEE, S.C. —
A Department of Natural Resources boat and a pontoon boat collided Monday afternoon on Lake Keowee, injuring four people, according to Robert McCullough, with the DNR.
McCullough said a DNR officer was in the 18-foot boat at about 3:15 p.m. when it collided with the pontoon boat.
The DNR officer and one person who was in the pontoon boat were ejected into the water. Those two and two other people who were in the pontoon boat were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, McCullough said.
He said the officer was out on the lake patrolling for Memorial Day.
A witness told WYFF that the DNR boat hit the pontoon coming out of a blind curve on the Cane Creek Channel, but that information has not been confirmed by officials.
No other information has been released.
