Eight kids and five adults were on board the boat when strong winds crossed the water around 7:30 p.m. and knocked it over.
“At 7:37 tonight our wildlife officers received a call that a boat has capsized near the North Shore area here at Lake Pueblo,” said Travis Duncan with Colorado Parks and Wildlife on Sunday. “When they responded, they found a large flat-sized boat capsized with 13 folks on board.”
One woman died before help arrived, presumably from drowning, though the county coroner will release the official cause of death. Eleven others were rescued from the water and transported to area hospitals. “The water here is 60 degrees so it’s very cold, so we’re getting them checked out for hypothermia,” Duncan said. “We did have one child who went on a Flight for Life tonight, so just concerned about that and continuing to check in on that.”“It is 80-90 feet of water and we expect it to be a difficult search,” Duncan said.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife is asking boaters to avoid the area Monday while the recovery operation is underway.
