Kayaker rescued by Good Samaritan after capsizing on raging Sauk River

ST. CLOUD, Minn. – A kayaker capsized in the raging Sauk River Saturday afternoon before a Good Samaritan saved him.

The Stearns County Sheriff's Office says the man was rescued at a point in the river between Highway 15 and Heim's Mill.

The man said he couldn't find his son, who was in a separate kayak. Thankfully, he was found safe downriver in St. Cloud, and the two were reunited.

Authorities are reminding people that water is moving fast with all our melting snow.
