According to Chippewa County authorities, a one-year-old fell overboard into Lake Holcombe near a resort. The boat was moving when 31-year-old James Braaten of White Bear Lake, Minn., fell into the water as he tried to grab the child.
A propeller on the boat severely injured one of Bratten’s legs then the five-year-old shut off the engine by turning the key, sparing Braaten from further harm.
