Two people ended up at Kosciusko Community Hospital after water-related injuries Sunday.

According to Indiana Conservation Officer Jon Engle, Bradley Camp, 54, of 14574 N. CR 200E, North Manchester, was on a inner tube on Big Barbee Lake late Sunday afternoon. Officers believe Camp's tube hit a wave, throwing him into the air and landing him on his backside.Camp complained of chest pains, and was treated at the scene then transported to KCH. Camp is currently in the Intensive Care Unit, and is listed in fair condition.

In the other incident, 6-year-old Chloe Waters, Fort Wayne, was playing on a pier at Lake Wawasee around 4:30 p.m. Sunday when she apparently fell in.

A search found her floating unresponsive next to the pier. CPR was performed on Waters. The girl was revived and responsive as she was transported to KCH.

Waters was treated and released at KCH.

Kosciusko County Sheriff's Department, North Webster and Syracuse Fire Departments assisted conservation officers at the scene.
