Six rescued after boat sinks on Lake Tawakoni

By Brad Kellar

Lake Tawakoni – A Texas Parks and Wildlife Game Warden from Van Zandt County came to the aid of the half dozen individuals after their boat took on water from a leak and eventually capsized.

Each of the Central Texas boaters was wearing a life jacket at the time. There were no injuries.

It's unclear what caused the leak in the boat, which the group had just purchased two weeks ago.
