Peterborough County OPP say around 6:15 p.m., police responded to reports that an individual had been thrown from their motorboat but that the boat was still running and circling the lake.

Police say the boater and an individual on the inflatable were rescued by another person on a personal watercraft and taken to shore.

A witness estimates the boat was circling the lake for about 20 minutes when it finally veered and collided with a dock at a residence on Poplar Point Road in Selwyn Township. The collision finally caused the boat’s motor to shut off.
