Three people ran their boat aground near the middle branch of the Patapsco River, just south of I-95.
Just after sunset, the MSP Trooper 1 helicopter crew was contacted about rescuing the stranded boaters after unsuccessful attempts to rescue them by boat.
Using a rescue basket, all of the boaters were hoisted into the helicopter. There were then taken to Shock Trauma to be evaluated.
Traffic on I-95 was stopped during the rescue.
