On Friday, 06/26/09, at approximately 2040 hours, I was contacted by Tawes Communications concerning a boating related accident that had occurred in Asawoman Bay. Tawes was notified by 75th Street Medical Center that a 13 year old male was being treated after the tube he was riding on hit a piling at the entrance to 120th Sreet Canal. I spoke with the victim's father, by cell phone. father stated that he was operating a jet ski and pulling his son on a tube. When they turned into the canal at 120th Street operator did not reduce the speed quick enough to keep the tube from continuing its forward momentum. The tube hit the piling at a dock at the entrance to the canal. After the victim was injured, operator and the observer assisted victim onto the jet ski. He was taken to 75th Medical and then to Atlantic General Hospital.
