Default Hovercraft Accident

Any word of the person in the Hovercraft accident today? According to WMUR News, he was not wearing a life vest.


MOULTENBOROUGH, N.H. -- A hovercraft crashed on Lake Winnipesaukee around 4 p.m. Saturday, according to Moultonborough fire officials.

Witnesses reported one person in the water without a life jacket. 9-1-1 callers rushed to the closest landing area- Harilla Landing off Long Island. 9-1-1 callers found the victim near the landing and pulled him onto shore and started CPR, said Chief David Bengtson.

A Moultonborough police officer was the first emergency vehicle to arrive and used an AED on the unresponsive male victim, authorities said.

The man was rushed to Lakes Region General hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Authorities are not releasing the name of the victim, who is believed to be a local resident, pending notification of family members.
