The strike caused a minor injury to the victim’s upper leg, resulting in that person being taken to a valley hospital for treatment. Stark recounts that while drifting with the engine idling, swimmers from the vessel entered the water where one was struck by the propeller. Stark adds that the two juveniles are being directly credited with saving the victim’s life.Īround 7 p.m., while still investigating the first incident, Marine Safety deputies were dispatched to a second boating accident near the inlet commonly referred to as “The Cliffs.” The victim after being transported to the Fiddleneck Boat Ramp was taken to a valley hospital for emergency treatment. The boat operator immediately stopped and with the assistance of those onboard, removed the victim from the water after which two juveniles, a 15-year-old female and a 17-year-old male immediately initiated lifesaving efforts. Stark says the impact caused the victim to go under the boat, where a propeller strike caused major shoulder and lower leg injuries. The second person was subsequently struck as the vessel began to accelerate. Greg Stark reports the first incident, which occurred Saturday around 4 p.m., initially involved a wakeboarder and the boat that was pulling the rider.Īccording to witnesses, as the rider fell, the boat operator turned to retrieve that person but was apparently unaware that a second occupant of the same boat jumped into the water from the bow.
