Three people survived Saturday when their boat capsized in frigid water at Strawberry reservoir in Wasatch County.
One member of the group reportedly called 911 when the boat filled with water around 7 a.m. Salt Lake County residents Nathan Van Derkinden, 31, Chris Kinder, 36, and Austin Kinder, 9, were unharmed, according to officials at the Wasatch County Sheriff’s Office. They were reportedly treated by paramedics at the reservoir and released.
The three were reportedly standing on the capsized boat when rescuers reached them in boats and personal watercraft.
New jail commander
The Summit County Jail has a new warden following the retirement of former Sheriff’s Office Capt. Kyle Lewis. Summit County Sheriff’s Office Capt. Sherm Farnsworth was reassigned to jail commander from his duties overseeing the Summit County Sheriff’s Office patrol bureau.
