BAKER CITY — Three members of a Caldwell, Idaho, family were hurt when their boat hit rocks and ran ashore in a morning accident Wednesday, Sept. 2, on Brownlee Reservoir near the dam.

Dennis Hansen, 72, and his wife, Kathleen Hansen, 66, had been camping at Woodhead Park with their minor-aged grandson, a Baker County Sheriff’s Office press release stated. The crash happened while the three were boating on the reservoir looking for a fishing spot. Dennis and Kathleen were injured when Dennis, the boat operator, became distracted and the boat hit a rocky section of shore, the press release stated.

The two were thrown from the boat. Their grandson, who remained in the boat, suffered serious injuries and was transported by Life Flight.

The Baker County Sheriff’s Office was called to the area of Woodhead Park on the Idaho side of Brownlee Reservoir by the Washington County Sheriff’s Office in Idaho. Eagle Valley Ambulance and Halfway Ambulance also assisted at the scene.
