A man injured after his boat collided with a power boat in southern Anne Arundel County was flown to Maryland Shock Trauma Center on Friday, officials said.
The crash occurred in the West River, near Shady Side, at about 4:45 p.m., according to U.S. Coast Guard officials.
A witness reported the accident and then held the man alongside his boat until a Coast Guard boat crew arrived to help.
Emergency medical technicians were able to stabilize the man aboard the Coast Guard boat, officials said, and he was taken to the YMCA ball field off the Rhode River, where he was transported by a state police helicopter.
