Salem River boat crash sends 2 to hospital

"Their complaints were head, shoulder and leg injuries," Ayars said. "Hospital evaluations may have shown further, but we packaged, treated and transported them using spinal injury precautions.

Two individuals were transported to the hospital after a boat crashed into Barber's Basin on Sunday at 1 a.m. Two of the six people on board the 26-foot boat fell into the Salem River and sustained head, shoulder, and leg injuries. The two injured were sent to The Memorial Hospital of Salem County and Christiana Hospital in Newark, Del. The boat accident took place about a quarter of a mile from the Penn Salem Bridge. The cause of the accident remains under investigation but it appears that alcohol may have played a role.
