Six people involved in boat accident

At approximately 6:45 p.m. Saturday, emergency workers were responding to a reported boat accident on Lake Eufaula at Porum Landing, said an OHP McAlester spokesman.

Rebecca Smith, spokeswoman for the Muskogee County Emergency Medical Service, said early information said two boats collided on the lake.

Six people were involved in the accident, and two were unresponsive at the scene, she said, though the information is only preliminary.

She does not have information on the other four people.

Muskogee County, Checotah and Paramed from Eufaula were enroute to Porum Landing, and Life Flight is on standby, Smith said.
