The victim was pulled from the water by other boaters and people from the shore, and taken ashore by another boater. There, first aid was administered to control the bleeding until first responders could arrive.

The victim was then transported to Tobey Hospital, and their condition is unknown at this time.

The incident will be investigated by the Massachusetts Environmental Police, the DNR said.

You'll likely pick up some knowledge from a wide range of Americana: one of the last remaining 1950s-style drive-ins in the Midwest; a Florida town that started as a Civil War veteran retirement area; an island boasting some of the country's top public schools and wealth-earners right in the middle of a lake between Seattle and Bellevue; and even a California town containing much more than Johnny Cash's prison blues.
