NARRAGANSETT, .R.I. -- A 67-year-old man remained in the trauma center at Rhode Island Hospital Friday evening, a day after being ejected from a power boat on the Narrow River.
Fire Dept. Capt. Peter Taylor said the man, whose name has not been released, was not driving but is believed to have been on the bow of the boat when he landed in shallow water, suffering head and neck injuries.
Taylor said a bystander saw the man and brought him to shore, where a fire rescue crew initially brought him to South County Hospital before his transfer to Rhode Island Hospital. The accident occurred just west of the Sprague Bridge.
