Eight people were rescued from Lake Michigan when their boat overturned Saturday near Diversey Harbor on the North Side.

A 44-year-old woman and a 16-year-old boy was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital, and a 13-year-old boy who injured his wrist and was taken to Lurie Children’s Hospital. All three were in good condition.

The rest declined treatment, authorities said.
