DELEON SPRINGS, Fla. — Volusia County Sheriff’s Office and Volusia County Fire Rescue were called out Tuesday to Lake Dias in DeLeon Springs for an out-of-control boat spinning in circles.
“Responding units spotted a single unresponsive occupant on the boat and quickly came up with a plan to rescue him,” VSO posted on its Facebook page.

The Marine Unit crew moved in close enough for VCFR Acting Division Chief and Technical Rescue Deputy Team Leader John Kyp to jump on board, stop the boat, and get the patient to shore for treatment. He’s expected to make a full recovery, according to VSO.
