Tolman said all 25 family members, including a mother and her 2-month-old baby, jumped in the water to safety. Some were able to grab lifejackets, others were not so lucky.
"We had about 25 people on board, including a 2-month-old, two toddlers, an 8-year-old diabetic, and three more elementary-aged kids on board. We quickly jumped out of the boat and swam to safety on a few boats that had stopped to rescue us," she said. The family is grateful to the good Samaritans who rushed to the scene with boats and got them safely out of the water.
"Luckily, no one was hospitalized. No one walked away with any injuries," Tolman said. "We're grateful to be alive and grateful for those who saved our loved ones by stopping to scoop us out of the water." KSL-TV has reached out to Glen Canyon National Recreation Area about the incident but has not heard back.
