\nPolice Report – September 30, 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n GO #13-142990 – Boat Accident<\/strong>
\n – At 12:04 a.m., police received several calls of a boating accident in
\n the Bedford Basin. The callers stated they heard a loud collision of
\nsome kind on the water followed shortly thereafter by several people
\nyelling for help. HRM Fire and Emergency, EHS and police attended the
\nscene and located the accident site a few hundred meters off shore, in
\nline with the 600 block of the Bedford Highway. Police were able to
\ncommunicate with the people aboard the boat by yelling across the water
\nand learned that two women and one man remained aboard the vessel, while
\n two men were in the water swimming to shore. HRM Fire and Emergency
\nand the Coast Guard dispatched rescue craft to the scene. The two men in
\n the water eventually swam to shore utilizing floatation devices and
\nwere treated by EHS at the scene and then transported to the QEII. The
\npeople on board the boat were picked up by the Coast Guard, taken to the
\n Bedford Institute of Oceanography (BIO) wharf where they were treated
\nby EHS and then transferred to the QEII. The vessel, a 31 foot
\nfibreglass boat, appeared to have struck a large buoy in the water. It
\nwas towed from the scene and is now moored at the BIO wharf. <\/p>\nA women was treated and released from hospital, the other three men
\nand a woman remain in hospital at this time for observation and
\ntreatment of more serious but non-life threatening injuries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
