A person has been taken to hospital after a canoe with two people capsized outside a power station in Hallstahammar, reports VLT.

It's a power plant on site so it's probably quite a strong current in the water, says Göran Norman, lead operator at Rescue Center Middle.

The person was missing for a while, but could then be rescued by the rescue service's divers. The extent of the injuries is unclear.

We are on site and assist the Rescue Service in their operation, says Stefan Larsson, press spokesperson for the police.

The other person in the canoe got up on their own.

The alarm about the incident came at 13.47.
