VINLAND, Wis. (AP) — Divers are searching for two women who are missing after their boat collided with another boat on Lake Winnebago in east-central Wisconsin.

The crash happened just after 8:30 p.m. Saturday when a 26-foot Crownline E6XS boat with two people aboard collided with a 20-foot Rinker Captiva boat with four occupants.

The Winnebago County Sheriff's Office says two Neenah women, ages 20 and 26, were thrown from the Rinker Captiva, along with a dog.

The Post Crescent reports divers resumed searching for the women Sunday morning. The Grundman Boat Launch is closed to the public because of the search.

The other two occupants of the Rinker Captiva suffered serious injuries and were taken to a hospital by ambulance. The two people in the Crownline E6XS were treated on shore by paramedics.
