CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – A small boat capsized on the Cumberland River in Clarksville Saturday morning.
Witnesses report that a small Jon boat began to sink around 10 a.m. near McGregor Park because the load on the boat was reportedly too heavy.
Rescue crews responded to the scene and brought two men safely back to shore. No injuries were reported.
The incident occurred shortly before the Riverfest Regatta, an annual event in which teams build boats from plastic and cardboard and attempt to race to the finish line without sinking.
