GAINESVILLE - A wake from a passing boat is being blamed for overturning another boat Friday night on Lake Lanier.

Hall County Fire Marshal Scott Cagle says it happened shortly before dusk south of Gainesville Marina.

The injured, all adults, were already out of the water by the time rescue personnel arrived and were on a dock at the marina. Cagle says they suffered various types of injuries, including neck and back pains. He says one of the victims nearly drowned.

Cagle adds this is the first time he can remember when a wake from one boat caused another vessel to overturn.
