Five rescued from river

A family of five, rafting on the Yuba River near the end of Hallwood Boulevard, was rescued Tuesday evening after their raft punctured.

Family members, ranging in age from 11 to 35, made it about half a mile on the river before the raft was disabled and they got stuck, according to Yuba County Sheriff’s spokesperson Leslie Carbah.

Yuba County Boat Patrol, Linda Fire Department and the Marysville Fire Department responded with jet skis and swift water rescue equipment around 7:50 p.m.

The rafters were rescued and returned to their vehicle. None were injured. Office
