Daredevil boat trip ends with river rescue near Huron
Two 21-year-olds from Sandusky, Mark Hipp and David Moosbrugger, were rescued after their 12-foot boat capsized in the rain-swollen Huron River two miles south of the Huron Erie county line. Hipp spent hours in the water before deputies and Milan firefighters pulled him to safety. Moosbrugger was rescued by a land-and-helicopter team led by Monroeville pilot Andy Overly. Both were treated for exposure and released from Providence and Fisher Titus hospitals. The flood warning had been issued earlier as heavy rains swelled the river, with residents in nearby areas returning home as waters receded.
