The following accident occurred on March 9, 2012, at approximately 1040 hours.

The limited information we were able to access was from the Manchester Fire Department and Manchester Police Department.  The operator of Vessel I and his passenger found a canoe on the riverbank. The vessel had a hole in it, but they decided to take it for a joyride on the Piscataquog River.  The boys reached a narrow section of the river and encountered rapids; the canoe then capsized.  The boys were able to make it to the riverbank and out of the water on their own.  The two were transported to the local hospital and treated for mild hypothermia and released.
