The hospitalized rider had a broken leg and a severe laceration, Iredell County Sheriff Darren Campbell said in a news release.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat started as a fun day on Lake Norman quickly turned into a life-threatening emergency,\u201d the sheriff said.<\/p>\n

Campbell didn\u2019t name the injured rider, say where the crash happened or provide further details about the collision.<\/p>\n

Deputies got the victim onto the sheriff\u2019s office patrol boat, controlled the bleeding and stabilized the injury, Campbell said. They took the victim to a dock, where EMS continued treatment before driving the person to a hospital, the sheriff said.<\/p>\n

The collision should remind people that piloting a boat \u201ccarries the same responsibility as driving a vehicle,\u201d Campbell said. \u201cImpaired operation, excessive speed, or careless riding can have life-changing consequences in an instant.\u201d<\/p>\n

The sheriff also reminded boaters to wear life jackets and \u201cstay alert, maintain a safe distance from other vessels, and never operate a boat or personal watercraft while impaired. One bad decision can change lives forever.\u201d<\/p>\n
