The boat went into a complete 360¡ spin and ejected the two. The two were brought to shore by some boaters from Indianapolis, IN, and were then transported by Pickett County Ambulance Service to the top of the hill at Midway Church, where they were then transported by Life Force to Erlanger Hospital in Chattanooga. Whitehead reportedly sustained internal injuries and leg injuries. Beaty reportedly sustained massive internal injuries along with cuts and abrasions.
