The Coast Guard was called early Sunday morning to rescue two people who fell off of a boat on Lake Erie.

First responders received a call around 1:30 a.m. on Sunday stating that two people were in the water after a woman fell off a boat, and the man who tried to rescue her also fell in.

The Buffalo Police Underwater Recovery Team and an Erie County helicopter assisted the Coast Guard, who located the two near the break wall. The entire rescue took about an hour.

The two were taken to safety at the Erie Basin Marina and transported to ECMC with non-threatening injuries.
