Pinecrest, CA...From the Tuolumne Sheriff's Dept..."During the summer months the beautiful weather brings many visitors to our county for recreation. When enjoying our lakes we would like to remind everyone to be safe. Yesterday, our boating unit responded to Pinecrest Lake for a boating accident due to operator inexperience. The driver accidentally accelerated into the dock sending his passenger flying into the water. Thankfully the passenger was uninjured but a person standing on the dock suffered minor injuries. Alcohol was not a factor but there are some safety tips our deputies would like to share.
