EUGENE, Ore. (KVAL) - A man in an inflatable raft lost air and required a rescue from the Willamette River on Monday.
"He said he was on his way to work," said Tim Chase with Lane County Search and Rescue. "He ended up on some trees in a rapid downstream from Alton Baker Park."
The 33-year-old man was wet but uninjured, Chase said.
Eugene-Springfield Fire launched a boat and helped the man back to shore after receiving a 911 call that the man had lost his raft and been swept downstream.
Not all of his belongings made it.
