Alna woman hurt when power boat, kayak collide in Nobleboro
A 51-year-old Alna woman was taken by helicopter to a Portland hospital Sunday after a power boat struck the kayak she was using in Nobleboro, Warden Chris Dyer of the Maine Warden’s Service said Monday.
Neither the woman’s name nor those of other parties in the July 3 crash were being released yet, Dyer, the investigating warden, said.
It happened at about 7 p.m. on Pemaquid Pond; the woman received a broken rib and cuts to her head, Dyer said. It was not yet known if she struck her head on the boat or the kayak. That was still being sorted out, he said.
The boat was towing a wake boarder, Dyer said.
The kayaker was conscious, alert and talking after the crash; she was taken first to LincolnHealth’s Miles Campus in Damariscotta, then on to Maine Medical Center in Portland on a Lifelight helicopter for the advanced level of treatment she could get at MMC, Dyer continued in Monday’s phone interview.
No one was else was hurt. The investigation is continuing; no one has been charged, Dyer said.
The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office and Nobleboro Fire Department also responded to Sunday’s accident.
