LEAVENWORTH — Police said a 69-year-old Chelan County woman has drowned on a guided rafting trip on the Wenatchee River.
The Wenatchee World said Sharon Hughes was one of seven family members and a guide who were on a raft when it hit a log jam Sunday afternoon.
Sgt. Mike Harris said six family members were able to climb out of the raft and onto the log jam. But Hughes and the guide were thrown from the raft when it flipped.
She was swept under the log jam and was later pulled to the river bank. Attempts to revive her were unsuccessful.
Her husband was treated for minor injuries at Central Washington Hospital.
