Rescuers Pull Kayakers From Patuxent River

UPPER MARLBORO, Md. (AP) ― Prince George's County emergency crews have rescued 32 kayakers who became stranded on the Patuxent River.

A county fire department spokesman says everyone was brought to land safely by early Friday afternoon. They had become entangled in some trees because the river was swollen after recent rains.

There were initial reports of kayakers missing, but officials say everyone is accounted for. There were no injuries.
