Nebraska Man Critical After Being Pulled from Lake

branched-oak-lake(AP) — Authorities say a 60-year-old man was in critical condition after being pulled from an eastern Nebraska lake.

Lancaster County Sheriff’s Sgt. Phil Lang says the man was seen swimming in Branched Oak Lake Sunday afternoon shortly before boaters found him floating in the water.

The boaters pulled the man from the water and called 911 around 12:30 p.m. Then bystanders performed CPR on the man for more than 25 minutes until paramedics arrived.

The man was flown to a Lincoln hospital. His name was not immediately released.
