ROYALTON Four young teens who were tubing on a fast-moving White River on Thursday afternoon were rescued after they became hung up on a downed tree and lost their inner tubes, authorities said.
The tubers, part of a group of about 20 people floating down the river, ran into trouble on the White River near Pinch Rock, north of South Royalton village, around 1:15 p.m., according to South Royalton Fire Department Chief Paul Brock.
“The water was high from all the rain we’ve had, and pretty swift, and it really wasn’t a good situation,” he said.
