Man seriously hurt on Goffstown lake
GOFFSTOWN — A SeaDoo passenger is in serious condition after being thrown into Glen Lake Sunday afternoon, along with the ski-craft’s female driver.
The State Police Marine Patrol reported both the 29-year-old driver and 40-year-old passenger fell into the lake just after noon while the watercraft was making a turn.
Neither were wearing mandatory life preservers, authorities said.
The man had difficulty swimming, sinking below the water’s surface. According to a Marine Patrol news release, onlookers rescued the pair and performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the man once on shore until first responders arrived.
