KANSAS CITY—Authorities are investigating a rescue at a creek on Saturday in Kansas City.

Just after 1:30p.m., KC Fire Department companies were dispatched to Dr Martin Luther King Jr Blvd and Prospect Avenue for reports of a person on a mower rolling into Brush Creek, according to Battalion Chief Riley Nolan.

As companies arrived on scene, they observed someone being pulled out of the water by bystanders and placed on the bank of Brush Creek. It was determined the rescue boats were not needed and were cancelled. KCFD personnel immediately took over medical care of the patient and transported them to the hospital.  Nolan released no additional details.
