LINCOLN – A 46-year-old Trenton man was hospitalized with injuries following a boating accident Nov. 19 on Swanson Reservoir in Hitchcock County.
Sometime in the afternoon, the victim, the sole occupant other than a dog, apparently was ejected from his boat. The running boat began circling. Another boater rescued the man from the water and took him to the boat ramp to be treated by emergency personnel.
The victim, who sustained injuries from the propeller, was flown by helicopter to CHI Health Good Samaritan in Kearney.
Nebraska Game and Parks Commission conservation officers secured the boat and dog. Game and Parks is investigating the incident.
