Two Kayakers Rescued from Whitewater River in Franklin Co.

Officers were dispatched to a site near New Trenton around 5 AM Friday.

(Franklin County, Ind.) – Indiana Conservation Officers rescued two stranded kayakers today on an island in the Whitewater River.

Officers were dispatched to a site near New Trenton around 5:00 a.m.

The initial investigation determined that Andrew Wissing, 47, and Katy Noonan, 39, both of Sardinia, Ohio, had been kayaking since yesterday and stopped overnight on the island. As storms hit the area and continued throughout the evening, water levels rose, sweeping away their kayaks.

Responders used a johnboat and transported them to safety where they were checked by emergency personnel.

The incident is still under investigation.
