Two children injured after ‘biscuit-style’ inflatable crashes into boat on busy lake

Two children have been rushed to hospital after their “biscuit-style” inflatable crashed in a horror incident on a busy lake.

Two children have been rushed to hospital after a “biscuit-style” inflatable device collided with a fishing boat on a popular lake on the NSW-Victoria border.

Emergency services were called to Mulwala, northeast of the Victorian town of Shepparton, about 11.30am on Sunday after reports of a boating incident.

NSW Police were told a ski boat towing the inflatable device was coming around a bend on Lake Mulwala when it collided with a stationary fishing boat.

Victorian police and ambulance paramedics arrived at the lake, which is located across from the Victorian town of Yarrawonga, and treated three people.

Two children were injured on a crash on Lake Mulwala, near Shepperton and Wangaratta.

A 34-year-old man, a 10-year-old girl, and an eight-year-old boy, who suffered non-life threatening injuries, were all treated at the scene by paramedics.

All three were later flown to separate hospitals in Victoria.

In a statement, NSW Police said their counterparts in Victoria would conduct further inquiries with the skippers of both vessels involved in the crash.
