BROKEN BOW, Okla. (AP) – The Oklahoma Highway Patrol’s lake patrol troopers have rescued four kayakers from the Mountain Fork River in southeastern Oklahoma.

Reich says troopers found two people hanging onto trees and two others on the bank. All four were rescued by lake patrol boats with help from the Broken Bow Fire Department.
