Three men were injured when their air boat crashed into a tree on a flooded portion of the Beaver Dam River.  Dodge County rescue personnel were called to the scene north of the Ranch Road boat launch shortly after 11pm Thursday.  Two occupants in the boat, from West Allis and Hales Corners, were ejected from the boat and received serious but non life-threatening injuries.  The boat operator received minor injuries.   A fourth person was not injured.  The occupants were able to get back into the boat and drive it to the boat launch. Responders met them there and began treatment.  Speed and low visibility appear to be factors in the crash.
