(KINDERHOOK TOWNSHIP) – A man was rescued over the weekend after falling into a Branch County Lake.

Branch County Undersheriff Keith Eichler says the department was called just after 12 PM Sunday to Huyck Lake, near Harbaugh Drive after receiving a call of someone that was yelling for help. Deputies arrived and discovered a man approximately 100 yards off shore, hanging on to his capsized boat.

The Lakeland Fire Department was also called to the location. They were able to find a boat and get out to the 73 year Kinderhook Township man and get him to shore.

The man was treated at the scene by Life Care Ambulance and then taken to ProMedica Coldwater Regional Hospital. His name and condition have not been released.
