Two Rescued Sunday at Occoquan Reservoir: Media Report

Two people were hospitalized Sunday after they were rescued at the Occoquan Reservoir in Lake Ridge, according to a media report.

One person fell down a steep hill at the end of Bertram Street that leads to the reservoir, and the other person was injured in trying to rescue the first person, WUSa-TV Channel 9 reported.

Rescuers from the Occoquan-Woodbridge-Lorton (OWL) Volunteer Fire Department used a rope system to lower themselves down to the first person, who was found 120 feet down the hill. They summoned a rescue boat, which went up the reservoir and took both accident victims back to the Lake Ridge Marina.

The two accident victims were then transported to Sentara Hospital in Woodbridge, Channel 9 reported.
