Boy Falls Out Of Boat, Cut By Propeller

Posted: 7:48 am EDT September 18, 2006

A Winter Park boy was recovering Monday morning from a boating accident in Volusia County.

The 10-year-old tumbled out of the boat Sunday and fell against the rotating propeller. The mishap occurred at a boat ramp on the St. Johns River near Lemon Bluff Road.

Rescue workers rushed Kevin Casey to Halifax Medical Center.

"I've been cut up like that before. I hope the boy is gonna be ok. It looked pretty nasty. He's just a little guy. Hope he’s fine," said eyewitness Kenneth Monroe.

Florida Fish and Game agents fined the boat operator $63 for careless operation of a vessel.
