Cape Coral Police are on the scene of a second boat crash on the river in Cape Coral.

Emergency crews swarmed Jaycee Park as they conducted an investigation of the single vessel incident.

FWC says there were 4 people on the boat, two men and two women.

One of the men was ejected from the boat and pulled to shore by Good Samaritans. Cape PD and Fort Myers PD arrived to the scene and performed CPR. He was later transported to Cape Coral Hospital with unknown conditions.

The second man involved sustained injuries to the knee and was transported to the hospital as well.

One of the two women involved in the crash is said to have suffered minor injuries.

The Everest Boat Ramp will remain closed at this time as it is being used for staging areas for emergency personnel.
