Man in critical condition after falling off boat off Newburyport
Fellow boaters performed CPR on the man before first responders arrived.
A man was taken to a hospital in critical condition Tuesday after falling off a boat about five miles off Newburyport.
The Newburyport police and fire departments received a report of a boater who had fallen overboard and was in need of medical attention around 3:45 p.m.
Other people on the boat performed CPR on the man before Newburyport first responders arrived, took over those efforts, and ultimately brought him to a private dock on Plum Island Point, the departments say.
The man was then transported to the nearby hospital. His current status is unknown at this time.
