Two Ejected in Meredith Boat Crash...

[ApS]

From WMUR:

A preliminary investigation found that a Yamaha jet boat with four people on board was traveling at approximately 12 mph, leaving from the fireworks in the Weirs area, when they struck a submerged rock.

The impact ejected Shawn Carr, 35, of Seekonk, Massachusetts, into the water, where he suffered a head injury. He was able to climb back onto the boat.

A 13-year-old boy, who was driving the boat, suffered facial and hand injuries. The two other passengers on board the vessel were not hurt.

After the crash, good Samaritans assisted the boat and passengers to shore. Carr and the boy were transported to Lakes Region General Hospital for treatment.

Alcohol and drug impairment did not appear to be factors in this crash, but the circumstances leading up to the crash are still under investigation.

Anyone who may have witnessed anything related to this event is encouraged to contact Sgt. Seth Alie at 603-227 - 2117 or Seth.Alie@dos.nh.gov.
