Teens rescued on South Fork

Two teens were injured and another was found safe following an rafting accident Monday afternoon on the South Fork of the Boise River.

The teens were part of a group of 15 visitors from Oregon and Washington traveling the river as part of a church-organized event.

According to Deputy Nancy Hawley of the Elmore County Sheriff's Department, one of the group's three rafts overturned around 4:30 p.m. about five miles from Neals Bridge. Rough rapids along that stretch of the river were a possible factor, the deputy said.
