Child hurt in Laconia boating mishap

Anybody have anymore info as to what happen in this accident? My prayers go out that the child makes a full recovery.

LACONIA — A child was seriously hurt in a boating accident Thursday afternoon, authorities said.
A medical helicopter was heading to the scene just after 3:30 p.m., off Parade Road, to take the child, believed younger than a teenager, to a hospital, according to Deputy Fire Chief Deborah Pendergast.
The child sustained a serious leg injury in the water when a boat went by and there apparently was “contact between the child and the boat motor” around 3:15 p.m., she said.
The accident happened in a private marina that was part of a gated community called SouthDown Shores & Longbay

Below is from WMUR's website:

Fire officials said the boy and his father were stopped in Paugus Bay when the boy's shirt flew off the boat. He jumped in the water to get it, but his dad didn't see him and backed over him.

What a terrible accident!

My thoughts and prayers go out to the boy and his family. I can only imagine what they are going through...
