CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – Two women were rescued by first responders Tuesday around 4 p.m. when they became trapped and lost on a riverbank behind Nussbaumer Rd.
The females were in their floats, hit a tree in the water, flipped over and did not know where they were.
Through the GPS location on one of their phones, Clarksville Fire Rescue’s Commander Batten was able to track them down and the females were pulled out of the water and are now safe.
Only minor injuries were reported. CPD’s Officer Scudder took them home.
CPD, Fire Rescue, and EMS participated in the rescue.
CPD reminds the public that the water is still high. Moving flood water in particular is powerful, relentless and extremely dangerous. It is advised for the safety of all involved not to enter this water.
