Two hospitalized following drowning call off North Beach in Racine

Two drowning victims were pulled from the water by lifeguards at North Beach in Racine and transported by authorities to a hospital for treatment.

The first victim, a male, was unconscious and the lifeguards performed CPR until the Racine Fire Department arrived. The second victim, a female, was conscious and breathing but was also taken to the hospital for treatment.

According to the RFD, swimming in designated areas is an important part of beach safety. The bottom of Lake Michigan is uneven and there are many areas with drop-offs, holes and other dangerous landscapes.

The Racine Police Department, Racine County Sheriff's Office and the Racine County Dive Team also assisted in the call.
