Four Rescued On Big Muskego After Boat Capsizes

Boaters flipped vessel and were stranded about 500 yards off shore, but former mayor and daughter were there to help get them to safety.

According to authorities, four men were thrown in the water Monday night on Big Muskego Lake, about a quarter mile from shore, as their boat capsized in shallow water.

Former Muskego Mayor Dave DeAngelis and his daughter happened to be passing nearby in their boat, and were able to get the men, who were all from Muskego, back to shore. 

Tess Corners Fire and Rescue responded to the scene and one man was transported to the hospital to be treated for hypothermia. All of the men are expected to be okay.
