Fire rescue personnel helped an injured man after two airboats collided Sunday morning in southwestern Broward County’s Everglades area.
Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue personnel responded at about 10:30 a.m., to an area west of where Krome Avenue and Okeechobee Road meet at the county line.
BSFR Battalion Chief Michael B. Kane reported personnel met the injured man at Mack’s Fish Camp where the Gladesmen Airboat Tours operate off Danell Lane.
He had “sustained significant lacerations to the side of his body,” Kane wrote in a statement.
Fire rescue used a helicopter to quickly fly him from the camp to Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood.
“He is currently recovering from his injuries,” Kane wrote.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission was tasked with investigating the boat crash. Broward Sheriff’s Office deputies were also at the scene.
