Drowning Accidents Austin
Austin is surrounded by lakes and rivers, all beckoning boaters and swimmers in for a day of fun. Unfortunately, lakes and rivers as well as creeks, ponds, and swimming pools regularly swallow boaters and swimmers. Boating accidents, swift currents, flash floods, below-the-surface hazards, and other mishaps cause injuries and death. Drowning and near drowning are far too common in Austin.
