Sunday night, July 12, was a busy one for Great Bay Regional EMS Squad 85. Capt. Jay Zimmerman said that at 9:20 they received a call from a car parked on the side of Mathistown Road. One of the four occupants was unconscious and was airlifted to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center in Atlantic City. The EMTs learned from the other occupants that they had been in a boating accident earlier. The boat had hit a sandbar, and all four had been ejected. The other people in the car refused transport.
“It was a very strange call,” said Zimmerman. “The boating accident had not been reported.”
