PRINEVILLE, OR -- Bend and Crook County Fire crews rescued a kayaker Sunday afternoon, who got stranded on debris in the Crooked River. Initial reports indicated the kayaker had overturned near Rimrock Park bridge and was holding on to bushes in the middle of the river.

She was coached to get out of the water and wait on the debris island until rescuers could reach her. 

Seven members of Bend’s Special Operations Swift Water Rescue team paddled to the debris island and provided a helmet and life jacket to the woman, helping her get safely to shore. 

No one was injured.
