Teen nearly drowns, another charged with possessing drug paraphernalia at Coralville Lake
A male teen nearly drowned Saturday after jumping off a diving rock on Coralville Lake, according to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.
The unidentified teen was part of a group of approximately 15 teenagers that were jumping off the rock into the water, violating Army Corps of Engineers rules.
At about 4:30 p.m., a passer-by in a boat rescued the male after seeing he could not swim and was struggling to stay above the water. The teen was transported to a hospital.
A DNR conservation officer charged a 14-year-old female with possession of drug paraphernalia.
