Two Teens Injured At Cascades Falls In Giles County
Two men from Blacksburg Va in their mid twenties nearly drowned while swimming at Cascades Falls in Pembroke Va Sunday. Rescue workers arrived within 10 minutes and another 15 minutes later. One man refused treatment while the other was hypothermic and taken to Giles Memorial Hospital for observation.
