Personal Watercraft Insurance, Girl, 16, Dies in Accident on Long Island Sound
Greenwich, Connecticut: A 16-year-old girl was killed and another was seriously injured in a boating accident in the afternoon on Long Island Sound, the police said.
The accident occurred after 2 p.m. near Greenwich Point Park, when the girls, who were riding in an inner tube being pulled by a boat that two friends were in, somehow became entangled in its propeller, stated Lt. Kraig Gray, a spokesman for the Greenwich Police Department.
It appeared that the two girls fell out of the inner tube and into the water before the accident, said Ian Macmillan, the harbor master for the town of Greenwich. The propeller struck them when the boat circled back to pick them up, he said.
