Tour boat rescues family

A tour boat had to take a detour Friday, to rescue a family, whose boat overturned.

Two adults and two children fell into the Ohio River between Newport and Cincinnati.

At the same time, the Ride the Ducks Newport boat happened to be passing by.

The duck boat went to the family and the crew pulled them all to safety.

We're told the family was shaken, but not hurt.

After the rescue the crew on the duck boat continued giving tours for the rest of the day.
