Casey L. Chandler, 21, suffered severe lacerations to her leg, Jeff Nichols, spokesman for the Maine Department of Marine Resources, said Monday.
Chandler was one of six people headed south on the New Meadows River just before 3 p.m. Sunday when the incident occurred.
Chandler was taken by Cundy’s Harbor ambulance to Mid Coast Hospital in Brunswick. A LifeFlight of Maine helicopter then took her to Maine Medical Center in Portland.

A blood alcohol test was conducted on Brewer as is standard procedure.
The incident remains under investigation. Nichols said Tuesday afternoon that there were no updates to the investigation.
